Autoreplies and list commands



As a frequent poster (probably too frequently in some people's minds) the
autoreply "out of office" is especially irritating, but I hit the delete
button, grit my teeth and bite my tongue. This is true moreso now that I am
on the road more and sometimes can't send commands to the listservs (note the
plurarl). There is nothing like coming back into the office to see several
hundred messages waiting. Thank goodness for Outlook's folder system and
rules wizard.

Like Nina I have experienced similar problems when the IT department starts
to change things around. Late last year, early this year we switched to
mindspring. That change created untold havoc on recmgmt resulting in that I
could not post from my office account or even receive postings. Enormously
embarassing.

I understand the use of the autoreply feature and believe that it can be a
real help/assistance, but when you receive in the double digits egad. finally
try managing two email accounts for several listservs!
