Auto-Reply To Email

[Tennis Smith]

Hi,

I have the need to auto-reply to an email with a macro. I'm one of the
administrators for a mailing list. Every time a new person subscribes,
I get a notification email.

What I would like the macro to do is take the _first_ word in the body of
the message notifying me of a new member and then reply with a template
email.

For example, if "jsmith" begins subscribing to the mailer, I will get an
email which says something like "jsmith has joined your group". The macro
would then grab the string "jsmith" and send a note to "(e-mail address removed)"
saying "Welcome jsmith".

Are there any exmaples somewhere that I can use for this???

TIA,
-Tennis

Hi,

Since I didn't get any reply to the first post, I'll rephrase the questions
and expand the distribution.

I'm one of the owners of a mail list and I'm trying to setup a macro for it.

Background: When a user subscribes to a mailer, the owner (myself) gets an
email notification of that. The first word in the message body is the user
id of the new person subscribing.

So, what I would like is a macro that will read the first word of a
message body and then send an email to that person who has subscribed.

Anyone have this, or something close to it??

TIA,
-Tennis

This is usually done as part of the list software, which is a web
application, not an Outlook application. You should ask in the
public.inetserver.iis newsgroup.
