Re: diskquota auto-responder?

Philip recommended,

Yes, exactly.

| ... just rewrite the message to contain the quota info:
| 
|       :0
|       * ^Subject:(.*\<)?show diskquota

Small potential problem there.  A user sends "show diskquota" and gets
the diskquota, then sees a problem and writes about it to the sysadmin,
who gets a message with a subject like,

 Fw: show diskquota
or
 show diskquota (FWD)

The sysadmin then writes back to the user with a subject like

 Re: Fw: show diskquota

or

 Re: show diskquota (FWD)

and the message gets caught by the same recipe, and its body is replaced
with the quota information:

|               # replace the body of the message with the quota info
|               :0 bfiw
|               | quota -v

So I should think that this condition

  * ^Subject:(\<)*show diskquota$

might be safer.
