.IX Item "new ( ORIGINAL )"
Construct an autoreply to a message, assuming that the Reply-To (if
present, otherwise the From) header of \f(CW\*(C`ORIGINAL\*(C'\fR is valid.
.Sp
Returns a new Article object with no body or envelope sender, but with
suitable headers.
.Sp
If an environment variable \s-1LOOP\s0 is defined, it is used as the contents
of an X\-Loop header added to the reply (this is useful when using this
code in progs launched from a procmail recipe). Always preserves X\-Loop
headers in the original.
.Sp
The reference-folding code could probably be improved.
