Ton,

You could use the schedule service to run batch files that create or delete
a vacation.ima file. You could have several different ones that way, too.
You could have the "gone for the weekend" and the "gone for the evening" and
the "out to lunch" and of course the famous "taking a break" ones.

For example:

::daydream.txt

"Hello,

I appreciate your E-mail, but I  am taking a mental break. I  will reply to
your E-mail when finish day-dreaming about beautiful young women tending to
my every whim on a tropical island where they think I am the King of the
Universe.

Ton"

::activatedd.bat
d:
cd\imail\mail_private_com\users\ton
del vacation.ima
copy daydream.txt vacation.ima
exit

::deactivatedd.bat
d:
cd\imail\mail_private_com\users\ton
del vacation.ima
exit

Then go to the schedule tasks folder and create a job to run activatedd.bat
every hour on the hour from 9 to 6 M-F, and deactivatedd.bat at 10 minutes
after the hour every hour from 9 to 6 M-F.  You'll be the King of Out of
Office Responders at least.

Enjoy,
Mike
