        !            20: the \f4mail\fP command first checks if the recipient's mailbox indicates
        !            21: that the message is to be forwarded elsewhere (to some other recipient or
        !            22: as the input to some command).
        !            23: \f4vacation\fP is used to set up forwarding on the user's mailbox so that
        !            24: the new message is saved into an alternative mailbox and
        !            25: a canned response is sent to the message's originator.
