You can't test the auto-reply with an e-mail address that is configured
in OE. There's no way to disable that.

You could get a web mail account that you don't have set up in OE, or
perhaps have a friend send a test message.

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.
