Does anybody know a good way to combine the functions of Autoreply and Filter?
I want to reply to personal mail that I will be out of town until such and
such a date, but I don't want that to bounce to mailing lists.  Is there a
good way to do this, perhaps by filtering out anything with a From line
containing the word list?  Does filter snag the mail BEFORE it gets to
autoreply (can they work in harmony) or is it better to just do it all with
filter (if a piece of mail comes in and does NOT have the word list in it,
save that message and forward a response to the sender telling him/her I'm
gone).  Can anyone suggest a good course of action?

Email reply is preferred and I will post a summary later if desired.

Thanks
