The incoming message goes to 5 people. I will be the only one using the
auto reply, and replying only to the sender.

Is this a message that is being sent to a group, but you want the reply to
go to only one person, or is the message sent to you alone and you want to
reply?

Yes, I want it as an Out of Office Type. I want it to reply only to one
specific
"To" address... i.e. addressed to a club's board of directors, to inform
the sender
that their mail will be reviewed and the type of response they can
expect.
It is not necessary that this action be taken immediately, so I would
think
it would not be necessary to stay connected with OE running, that
whenever
I check & download mail (frequently) would suffice.

The Away Status is for Instant Messaging. Are you looking for an Out Of
Office type of reply?

If you do this, you will have to leave your computer on 24/7, be
connected to the Internet, and have OE open. If you want do this anyway,
the link below will explain how to do it. One thing I would suggest is
that where it says to create a rule and check For All Messages, you
change it and make the rule for people in your address book only.
Otherwise you will be replying to Spam as well.

Your ISP may offer this service which would be a better choice.

IE/OE 7 - Windows XP
In message rules I set a rule to Reply With Message and included an
".eml" file. I get an
error "Your message rules did not Forward or Reply to 1 message(s)
because the message
would have been sent to one of your accounts." This sounds as though
the error is because
I sent myself a test and the reply is trying to send back to me through
that server. The ISP
is Charter.net. Could this be something that could be configured to
allow it?

Also, in OE7 Help, the "Away Status" indicates under Tools | My Online
Status... I don't
have that option in Tools.
