AutoForwarding Messages 

You can combine automatic answering with automatic forwarding of your
mail.  For example, you can arrange for HP Desk to forward all the
messages you receive to a particular Distribution List, and to send a
reply to any messages you receive.  If you want you can delete copies of
forwarded messages from your In Tray.

To set up automatic forwarding: 

   1.  At the Admin > prompt, type AUTOFORWARD followed by the name of
       the Distribution List.  For example:

            Admin > AUTOFORWARD "managers" OF LISTAREA Return 

   2.  Type YES Return to delete AutoForwarded items from your In Tray or
       NO Return to keep them.

   3.  HP Desk prompts you to set an AutoAnswer.  Type YES or NO at the
       prompt.

   4.  Type the name of the item you want to use as the reply and press
       Return For example:

            COPY AUTOANSWER FROM > "august" OF WORKAREA Return 

   5.  Type YES Return to answer only messages that carry a read or reply
       acknowledgment, or NO Return to answer all messages.

To cancel automatic answering and forwarding, at the Admin > prompt type:

     AUTOFORWARD NO Return 
     AUTOANSWER NO Return 

       Further Information 

   *   HP Desk does not AutoForward PRIVATE messages.

   *   You can AutoForward messages to just one person by creating a one
       name Distribution List.

   *   When you are editing AutoForward and AutoAnswer Distribution Lists
       you need to turn off AutoForward and AutoAnswer.  After you have
       finished editing turn on AutoForward and AutoAnswer again.
       AutoForward and AutoAnswer need to be turned off and on so that
       any changes are saved.
