System name: podge
Type and version: KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PM-MONO
What were you trying to do?
Read a zaway message.
What's wrong:
The signature field contained "Automated reply:" instead of the user's
signature.
What should have happened:
zaway should use ZGetVariable to read the user's signature from the
.zephyr.vars file, and should use that signature as the first field in
all notices it sends out (just like zwrite). It isn't clear to me
that "automated reply" need to be a separate field, but if it does
then it should be the second field, and the text of the zaway notice
should be the third.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
