I got the same auto-reply. Thanks for sending this along. Samantha
Russell Grossman is out of the office for most of Friday 21st September please contact Susannah Robson on 020 7765 3627 for any urgent stuff. If you're enquiring about an email circulating with details of CNN footage of Palestinians, which has Russell's name on the bottom : it wasn't sent by him and was not issued by the BBC. It seems to be the work of someone seeking to make mischief. BBC footage used that day was from AP, not CNN. This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential. If you have received it in error, please delete it from your system, do not use or disclose the information in any way, and notify me immediately. The contents of this message may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC, unless specifically stated.
