Not a problem Graham ... I don't believe there is a way to send the
out-of-office messages to select people ... I think it's all or nothing
(which is stupid), unless you create a rule with a template and send that to
individuals, which is a lot more work.  The biggest problem I have with the
way Outlook sends the autoresponders and the way Freelists works, is the
autoresponders are sent to individuals who post, but not the whole group, so
if I don't post every damn day, I don't know that someone's autoresponder is
doing that ... once I see one, I always put that person on vacation ... but
many times I don't post and I'm unaware of it.  I wish I could fix that
part, but I don't seem to be able to, so I hope everyone will forgive me for
the occasional autoresponder I miss.

But, yes, the best thing to do is to set yourself to vacation, then you
don't even have to worry about the autoresponders becuz you won't receive
the group mails in your Outlook inbox, so the autoresponder won't be sent.

Dear all, and Linda in particular

My apologies that I didn't set up the above before a couple of you sent
messages to the group and may have triggered my Out-of-Office message. I was
really under pressure with deadlines yesterday (UK time) and couldn't find
the setting in Outlook to exclude certain addresses from receiving the
O-o-O. I have now set my account as Vacation mode.

Best to all
Graham Jones
