3929.0. "auto-reply and auto-forward" by VAXRIO::ABREU () Tue Mar 01 1994 17:43

    Hi,
    
       When the options auto-reply and auto-forward are both enabled , the
    auto-reply doesn't work. I have a customer who has this situation. I
    read in Tima that Engineering is aware of this problem . Are there
    plans to change this in a future release ? 3.1 ?
    
    
    Thanks ... Marcia

	I always thought that this was the intended behaviour. If you auto-forward your mail (an ALL-IN-1 misnomer for redirection), you are no longer the recipient. Therefore read receipts, auto-replies, etc, aren't sent from your account. They would be sent from the account to which the mail has been auto-forwarded. If the auto-reply were sent from your account, you would effectively be sending a reply to a message you hadn't received! Scott

If you auto-forward Hi Scott, I always thought it was a bug! Yes, you can probably justify the working in the way you did, but a) I don't believe IOSG has ever closed the bug in that way and b) it's quite obvious that a lot of people would like the functionality! Presumably your answer implies that it won't be 'fixed' in V3.1 - that'd be a shame I think. grahame

	>> your answer implies that it won't be 'fixed' in V3.1 No, my answer was purely a personal opinion. I don't know what, if anything, may or may not be done about this for V3.1. Scott

	I asked the mail people about this a while back and it was not on the list to fix in the PFR, and broke in the same way even with all the new mail code. Regards, Paul
