3128.0. "AR and AF together ?" by SUBURB::BROWNSTONE (Out to lunch) Wed Aug 11 1993 13:56

    Hi,
    
    I see it documented that Auto-reply will not work if an Auto-forward is
    also in effect (V3.0 users reference manual).
    
    Can anyone explain why this restriction has been imposed ?

3128.1it's a bugFORTY2::ASHMail Interchange Group, ReadingWed Aug 11 1993 14:449
Not so much an imposed restriction as a bug! Unfortunately, it's all bound up 
with the flow during message delivery, and to make it work would require a 
large amount of code-restructuring.

I would hope that the restriction could be removed as part of the development 
going on at the moment - it's certainly a good feature to be able to set AR 
and AF.

3128.2I've been there too...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Aug 18 1993 10:365
    I spent about a week hacking through the code during V2.2 development,
    and I couldn't work out how to make them both work together, so I
    turned the bug report into a restriction...

3128.3Or use Personal Assistant?IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Aug 18 1993 10:373
    Of course you can always use APA to produce AR and AF.

    Thanks Gents,
    
    APA was my recommendation too, trouble is we can only afford to run it
    out of hours....
    
    Never mind, roll-on Alpha

3128.5Been a restiction since at least v2.0AIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Mon Aug 30 1993 06:337
    maybe i misread the last bit of .4 but I don't think this is going to be 
    in the PFR unless you're expecting the mail code to get much quicker 
    by magic (see discussion of mail strategy in A1INFO)
