NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

	 use News::AutoReply;

	 $reply = News::AutoReply->new($message);

DESCRIPTION

       Like News::Article, but must be given a reference to another article at 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 (if present, otherwise the From) header of "ORIGINAL" is valid.

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

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

	   The reference-folding code could probably be improved.
