Barry's suggestion is right on-target, just remember that *you* will need to keep the computer on and Entourage open during the duration of your leave, because the rule can't act on messages you haven't received. If you aren't able to do that, I'd look into a server-level auto-reply feature from you ISP or mail provider. In that case, however, you'd need to manually unsubscribe from mailing lists during your leave, as most such utilities cannot distinguish mailing list messages from personal correspondence, -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> The Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
