Subject: Sending message from template?
Date: 14 Jan 2003 11:56:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vg0rr7pd.fsf@bitstream.com> (raw)


I run some mailing lists which require moderator approval for
membership.  When I get a message from the list server (Yahoo!)
telling me so-and-so wants to join, I want to be able to send a
message to so-and-so saying, in effect, "who are you and what do you
want?" (It's somewhat more polite than this.)

I'd like to make this as automatic as possible.  At a minimum, I'd
like to bring up the canned template message and just plug in the
so-and-so's email address.  Even better would be to parse the
so-and-so email address from the header of the notification message,
but that's a frill.

Is there a way to do template messages with gnus?  (I'm sure there
is.  I guess I'm basically asking how to do it.)

Thanks,

-pd
