Does anybody have an enhanced version of the "vacation" program that uses
RFC822 headers like "Reply-To" to decide where a reply is to be sent?
This would be particularly useful for people (like myself) who are on a mailing
list and would like to prevent the reply from going to the whole list.
The version of "vacation" I have is designed with uucp in mind, and only
looks at the "From " line.
Another (perhaps even more useful) enhancement would be the possibility of
specifying in advance a list of users who should not get a reply. I realise I
could play with the .vacation.pag and .vacation.dir files, but that requires
a special program.
	I could rewrite "vacation" myself, but if somebody else has already
done it I see no point in duplicating his/her effort.
	Thanks,
