I just joined the list, and I have printed out a number of manuals and

very clear on what everything does. In a nutshell, what I want to do is
add a recipe to my rc file that will autoreply to e-mail from a specific
person telling them that their e-mail has been ignored and delete the
message from my INBOX. Anyone know of a good way to go about this?
Sure. How about

As much fun it is to set up a recipe like this, I would recommend just
throwing their mail in the trash instead. People can always figure out
ways to get to your mailbox, and it's no use to antogonize them with
messages like the one above.
