Hi

Thanks for the prompt reply and help. So, in other words, are you saying
that it's impossible to encrypt the autoreply message? Or do you mean that
this can work if the autoreply plugin is modified? If it is the latter, what
command actually does (1), and which does (2)? Or is there some document I
can consult on my own, as I wouldn't want to trouble you unnecessarily.

Thanks
