LookOut, I mean Outlook, does not have a feature to my knowledge to not
reply with "OOO" to a specific sender. The best way I have found to
rememdy this situation is to set up a free pop account for mailing
lists. At some companies, though not mine, you can configure Lookout,
doh, Outlook to recieve internet mail via the POP account into a
seperate mail file with in...you guessed it! Outlook.
