In my signature is an example of a mailto link to automatically generate
a message addressed to me with the subject 'SendAlliePGPKey'. Use the
same syntax, making the necessary address and subject changes.
Now, you need to export your public key to a location on your system.
The next step is to create an incoming message filter.
Source folder : Inbox
Destination Folder: One of your choice (I created one just for this)
Filter Strings:
Strings Location Presence
'<your request subject>' Subject Yes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Kludges No
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Kludges No
You include the other strings by hitting the 'add' button.
NB// I suggest you place the two other strings there if you subscribe to
TBUDL and TBBETA because I have received requests CC'd to TBUDL and
TBBETA and when the TBUDL/TBBETA message comes in with the subject
request the auto-responder sends your keys to the list. For any other
lists to which you are subscribed include their e-mail addresses as
shown. This is basically instruction that if any of those e-mail
addresses appear in the Kludges the auto-responder is not activated.
Now go to the actions tab where you may mark the request as read but the
main thing is to scroll downwards to the option to send an auto-reply.
Good? :-)
Now hit the button to the right of the 'send auto-reply option. This
will open up the template editor for your automated response.
You may now write whatever write whatever introduction you like
including the necessary macros to !personalise! your automated response
(I love it .... an automated response with a personal touch<g>).
The really important macros however include:
i) %Subject="Re: Key request"
Here, you may use whatever subject you wish but make it
different from the original subject. This will prevent
the potential thank you messages from causing the
automated message to be resent. Not to mention causing
a loop when you are testing if things are working OK.
:-)
ii) %ATTACHFILE="<path to your exported key here>"
This macro is invoked by hitting the macro button in
the template editor and selecting 'attach file'. You
may then browse to the file and hit OK.
OR
If you wish to include the Key as text in your message, use the
%Put="<put path to exported public key here>" macro.
Hope that was clear. :-)
