Regarding the suggestion to unsubscribe folks who put vacation messages on their account, I'm in a company which considers it very good practice to do so. They don't actually require it, but it's expected. We use Lotus Notes. I know there's a way to set up a rule that keeps certain e-mail addresses from getting the vacation auto-reply, but that doesn't seem like it would work for the Perl list, where so many different people are the senders.
If everyone's message titles started with a standard string like PerlBeginners, then I could write a rule for it. Maybe the solution is just not to go on vacation. Thanks, Scott Scott E.
