I tend to go with the "echo" scheme, in spite of editing difficulties:
* don't have dependency on an external file - it's all in my
.procmailrc file
* easier to use variables I set in procmail - $SUBJECT, $SENDER, etc.
These are the exact reasons I use.
Nothing worse than sending a blank autoreply because the filename was wrong,
etc etc.
I'm working on an auto-responder for personal messages which will tell them
what folder their message ended up in, local time on my machine, etc. Being
able to use env. variables is really nice.
