I have one PC with one email account. When I'm away, I want to be able to
create an out of the office automated message.

How can I do this?

Many thanks.

This is an automated feature of MS Exchange. Are you using Exchange as
your mail server? If not, your choices are:

- Emulate the Out Of Office Assistant feature by defining a rule; see
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=311107. That means you must leave your
computer powered up, Windows running, Outlook loaded, and rely on a
client program to behave like a server (and Outlook is already a bit
flaky as a client).

- See if your e-mail provider includes an auto-responder function. You
can then configure it to respond to incoming e-mails. That means
EVERYONE that targets your account knows that they reached it.
