You are right, there is a bug when using :mime. Amazing how it never
showed up in weeks of sending vacation notices here before, but things
just don't get tested better by using them longer. I append a patch,
which I also sent to Philip. string_cat() does leave room for a
terminating NUL byte, but does not terminate the string. In this place
of the code, I managed to forget terminating the string. I looked at
the rest, but appearantly I did it right there. Thanks for the bug
report!

If you would give it a vacation directory, it would use it. That's why
it does not have any right now. ;-)

No, each user must have its own vacation directory or you may run into
databases being used for more than one user.
