Just a guess here, but I cannot find any auto-reply feature in Entourage, which is essentially Outlook Express with more features. The only programs I've run across with an auto-reply feature are instant-messaging programs. Since this happens with OE, and both versions of Netscape, I suspect it's some sort of problem with your ISP - not unlike the confirmation e-mails we get every time we post to this list. The only other place I've seen anything remotely like an auto-reply function was when I was still with AOL. They had a feature that would send back a "receipt" notifying the sender that you opened the message, however the return message did have text saying that's what it was. I believe that feature only worked with other AOL users though. I'm stumped on this one. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
