Argh! Someone please unsubscribe this guy? He did this over Summer too and still hasn't learned that 10000 recipients of R-help do not care whether he is out of office! -pd
Well, there are hundreds like him. The only difference being that he speaks Hungarian..
You might filter on the Subject line being "Re: [R] R-help Digest.*", with no attention to content. That has an obvious side effect, but maybe not a harmful one... -pd
Why? I (as R-* mailing list site maintainer)
have had (procmail) filters that automatically catch such 'out of office'
messages, so the 10'000 readers don't have to get them.
The current set of filters catches a set of English, French,
German,.. (and I don't know) messages
So I have (many!!) filters like this:
:0
* ^Subject: (Re|Holiday|Vacation): .*[-A-za-z]+ Digest, Vol [1-9][0-9]*, Issue [1-9][0-9]*
{
:0B
* I( will not be reading.*\<e?[-]?mail|.* away .* attend to your message when I get)
mlist-bounced.spool
}

but can't start doing that for Hungarian or Chinese or ...
