Out of office message
 

I can't figure out where to find the "Out of Office" message I would want
senders to see when I'll be out of the offcie for a week or so. Is there
such a message on Outlook Express?

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.

Excellent advice. I've always been hesitant to leave my computer on 24/7, so
I just email those who frequently email me and advise them of my plans, in
advance. Once when my OE crashed, my DSL company replied with a notice for
my most frequent incoming senders, and I requested they "phone, if its
important" due to the nature of my work--I knew anyone who needed me, knew
my phone number. ;-))
