You are thinking about the Out Of Office Assistant. I believe the OP is talking about the Office Assistant (Like that annoying paperclip... Clippy)

Don't know that, but IMHO it's a good thing regardless, for two reasons, which are related to each other: 1) When I send an email to someone, I don't need to know that they're out of the office, I need a response from a person, so it's really annoying to get a notification that I'm being ignored for however long that the person decides to be unresponsive. 2) If I'm sending an email to someone for business purposes, it's annoying to receive an OoO message (see the point above) and poor customer service - the email account should be covered by a delegate, and if a timely response is required, the delegate should make one.
