Mike, Yes, the vacation messages are annoying - I've just had same number coming back to me. However, those messages are meant to serve a useful purpose in our everyday working/business environments. We can be annoyed by them but the reality is that they will always be there. Whenever I send a message to the SI-list, I wait for about 5 minutes and quickly delete all "out-of-office" notifications I receive. They usually come in a burst and for that reason it takes almost nothing to select and delete them. Best regards. Hassan.
