Thanks for the tip, it sent me in the right direction.

Just for reference, how I set up my autoresponder with a mime
attachment (exim 3.35):

[ in the directors: ]

autoreply_director:
driver = smartuser
transport = autoreply_transport
require_files = /etc/mail/autoreply/${local_part}

[ in the transports: ]

autoreply_transport:
driver = autoreply
file = /etc/mail/autoreply/${local_part}
headers = ${if exists {/etc/mail/autoreply.headers} {${lookup{${local_part}} lsearch {/etc/mail/autoreply.headers}{$value}}}}
from = ${local_part}@${domain}
log = /etc/mail/autoreply.log
reply_to = office@${domain}
subject = Autoreply
user = mail
to = $sender_address

[ explanation ]

If a file exists in in /etc/mail/autoreply/ with the name of foo, then a
message sent to foo@??? (where bar.com is a local domain) results in
a reply with the text in /etc/mail/autoreply/foo used as the message
body.

If there is also a line with:

foo:    X-Header-1: abc\nX-Header-2: def


in /etc/mail/autoreply.headers, then the two headers will be added to
the message also.

(As an aside, it would be simpler if I could keep all the headers for
each autoreply in a separate file, eg, /etc/mail/autoreply.headers/foo,
and include the entire file as the headers, rather than lsearch into a
keyed universal file. But there appears to be no string expansion to
include a file?)
