I figure autoresponders are relics of the way email worked in the 80's. Back before spam, and email viri, and big mailing lists, and web-accessible email. These days, being out of the office, or town, or country, is no reason for you to not be able to get your email, if you felt you needed to. So, the only reason you aren't responding is that you don't want to. The fact that some email packages still have autoresponders is a misfeature, in my eyes. Luckily, my spam filter catches them. That's all they are, anyway. More spam. Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
