RE: Out of office/vacation messages

You're correct in saying that OOO messages from Exchange are offensive.  However, I don't think you should necessarily consider the subscriber as the offender - I for one have no choice in what email software is run at my corporate office.  Everyone in my corporate IT group is so busy continually justifying their existence and staking their ground that there's no chance that they'll switch platforms.

Heck, the Windoze guy turns almost white when I talk about taking over the DNS servers.

Most? Not "all"??

When/if I get tired of getting the admin box full of such, I find
unsubscribing the offender to be a good cure.
