Howdy, I set my filter to delete the message from the server using Outlook at work and Express at home. I never get them until a phrase that I have never seen before comes up. There should be something similar in whatever e-mail app used. If not get a better e-mail app. Barring might be a little harsh even for those high & mighty who don't care about anyone but themselves. But only because I still want them to share their knowledge. Also, being a member of the SI-LIST doesn't mean 'puter, internet or e-mail app literate. If there is a way for the list to check for out of office replies, I think their vacation mode should be automagically set. Other than that, I understand and agree with Doug's feelings. Cheers!
