Just being devil's advocate. But what if there is no reply whatsoever, since the recipient is out of office, say a 2 week trip to the Bahamas. No reply at all for 2 weeks, important client gets mad since they think they're being ignored. Important client goes to competitor. With an auto reply at least they have a clue about what is going on and take appropriate action. It's like bouncing spam as opposed to sending it to /dev/null. Anyways a smart enough ooo tool (such as vacation) can also just forward your email to some other address so they can handle it. Without pesky auto replies.
