It does not affect the operation of any +of client receiving messages. Zaway uses a message file (which defaults +to $HOME/.away) to describe what reponses should be sent to which +senders. The general format of this file +is: +.PP +.nf + >name + >name + message + >name + message +.fi +.PP +Any number of user names may be specified preceeding the message to send +to those senders. If a user name appears more than once, the message will +be a concatenation of each of the appropriate messages. There are +two special names: "*" indicates that the following message should be +sent to all senders and "%" indicates that the following message should +only be sent if the user name has not matched yet. If no file is specified, +and no default file can be found, the message: + +I'm sorry, but I am currently away from the terminal and am +not able to receive your message. + +If a user name does not match any of those listed in the file, and no +"*" or "%" field is specified, no return message is sent. +.SH SAMPLE FILE +.nf +>eichin +>tony +Hi there guys!
