Is there anyway of downloading anything that will allow me
to put an out of office message on my emails in Outlook
XP? Standalone laptop so no Exchange. Does anything
exist that allows this feature if one is going away for a
few weeks? Thanks.
 
If you are not in an Exchange environment you can create a rule that replies
on all e-mails. The downside of this is that you'll have to have your
Outlook open all the time for the rules to process. Make sure you set some
exceptions (for instance based on the subject field so it will not reply on
subject with e.g. reply, failed, undeliverable, etc...) otherwhise you could
create endless mailloops between two mailservers and those can be a real
threat to the mailservers!

many thanks Roady (as usual!)
I think I'll give it a miss because I suppose that will
only let all the spammers know that I exist too so I'll
just tell my main contacts that I'm going away!
Thanks though.
