I agree Ed and all we have had to do is to delete her response.

  Hi George,


  Isn’t removing ‘the offender’ a bit harsh? Presumably all she did was to set 
an email rule to send an out of office each time a message was received, rather 
than using the out of office feature of the email program which only sends a 
message once to each recipient.  I’ve often done the same if I’ve been away for 
a long period of time, though granted I don’t subscribe to lists from my work 
address.


  Surely a more commensurate reaction would have been to manually put her on 
vacation and send a friendly warning to the subscribe address.  While the 
accumulation of messages was certainly more than annoying, the mistake was only 
made once and wasn’t, as far as I could see, a repeat offence.


  I find off topic messages more annoying than an innocent mistake.


  Cheers,


  Ed

    Sorry everyone, but was up late.

    Hopefully those annoying out of office messages will stop since I’ve 
removed the offender.

    George,
