[comp.os.vms] Batch Queue VMS Mail Answerer

cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP (Christopher Chiesa) (04/18/88)

Some time ago I wrote a DCL command procedure which, when submitted to run as
a batch job, would sit there and answer your VaxMail.  It's nothing fancy,
i.e. it doesn't know WHO it's replying to (just knows there's a message there
to be replied to), and sends out only a form letter hard-coded into the pro-
cedure itself.  But from what I've seen, there are people here who could hack
it into something even more impressive.

I won't waste net bandwidth posting it now, "out of the blue," but I hereby
solicit responses from anyone interested; if there's enough interest I will
post it.  It's fairly short, and please don't waste typing energy saying "who'd
want a program to do THAT?"  It started out as a "novelty," and I consider it
such.
