[access-uk] Re: FAQ List


Hi Justin
The day before you go send a blank message to the usual access list but put 
this in the subject line (You can cut and paste to make sure the spacing is 
correct):

vacation 6 d

The six is the number of days you will be away plus the day you are setting up 
the request, and the d stands for days.

  Hi George,

  I still can't get to grips with the no mail/vacation setting. the FAQ
  doesn't make any sense to me.

  "Q:  Holidays - I want to stop list mail while I am away - how?

  In the Subject line, put the following command, but note that you need to
  change the # and x as listed below.

  vacation # x

  (Note the spaces in the above!)

  # is a number.  x is either letter d for days, h for hours, or m for
  minutes.  Example:-

  vacation 8 d

  would stop mail for 8 days from the time you sent the command.

  NOTE:  If you do not put a letter, the default for the number you put is
  days.  If you do not put a letter or a number, the default is two weeks."

  can anyone make any sense of this for me please?  I'm going away in two
  weeks, for five days which is why i wanna find out how to use the vacation
  function and, how to on the list again after I come back, lol.

  thanks

  Justin
