Maybe there is a way to give intelligent people (like most of those
on this list) the best of both worlds:
Be able to set a simple autoresponder for an email address, easily, whenever
they are not available
Have the lists be able to detect a token in the subject & not propagate the
message to the list in general
Those who fail to supply the token are deserving of (and are assured
to receive) the full Dinowitz wrath.
I would suggest:
Subject: [AR] I will be out of the office....
AR is for AutoResponder
Others, more clever than I, may have other suggestions for a token...
but let's pick something and create a standard.
