I see.  I first saw the --enable-autoresponder-bin=n option in the
./configure --help output:

It seems that the help message needs to be modified to fit the actual
behavier.

I think that the following processes are needed when qmailadmin saves
the vacation messages in order to handle Japanese messages.

1. Convert the encoding of subject from "EUC-JP" to "JIS" and
MIME-encode it.
2. Add Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp" header.
3. Add Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit header.
4. Convert the encoding of message body from "EUC-JP" to "JIS".

And the following on displaying existing messages:

1. MIME-decode the subject and convert the encoding from "JIS" to
"EUC-JP".
2. Convert the encoding of the message from "JIS" to "EUC-JP".

It seems to be not a good idea to implement the above process in
qmailadmin or autorespond themselves.  Some other languages have the
similar problem and it is not realistic to include all the language
supports in qmailadmin or autorespond.

There are some filter programs designed for the job, so if we have a
configuration file that specifies which program to use when saving or
displaying a message written in the client's language.

The configuration file can be like this:

[ja] #section name specifies the language
savesubject=/path/to/filterprogram optioins
displaysubject=/path/to/filterprogram options
addheader=Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp"
addheader=Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
savebody=/path/to/filterprogram options
displaybody=/path/to/filterprogram option

Other sections follow...

Thanks,
