NAME

News::AutoReply - derivative of News::Article for generating autoreplies

DESCRIPTION

Like News::Article, but must be given a reference to another articleat creation time - initialises To, In-Reply-To, References etc.correctly as an automatic reply.

USAGE

  use News::AutoReply;

Exports nothing.

Constructor

new ( ORIGINAL )

Construct an autoreply to a message, assuming that the Reply-To (ifpresent, otherwise the From) header of ORIGINAL is valid.

Returns a new Article object with no body or envelope sender, but withsuitable headers.

If an environment variable LOOP is defined, it is used as the contentsof an X-Loop header added to the reply (this is useful when using thiscode in progs launched from a procmail recipe). Always preserves X-Loopheaders in the original.

The reference-folding code could probably be improved.
