Hi Ron, I can only think that the Out of office replies you are getting are from list members who aren't active and contribute to the list and are perhaps off on a long vacation. Its easy to forget you've set an Out of office when you return as, certainly on my computer in the office, I get no prompt. The only way I know I've not taken it off is when colleagues email or phone and remind me. I did this on a recent holiday to Australia. It was several days after I had returned when a colleague reminded me that if I was still in Australia, who was that look alike sitting in my desk! I think I broke the speed limit in changing the status to "I am in the office". If they're annoying you to that extent, why not compose an email and send it to them. They could be grateful. Best of luck Val. _____ From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron Sears Sent: 13 January 2010 11:11 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] out of office reply Hi, does anyone know why I get out of office replies each time I send to the list?
