It tells colleagues and clients that the user is away, may stop more traffic (did you get my message?) and generally makes correspondents feel better about the company.

Could you please explain to me where I made a mistake and how to get my user's mails back? Thank you very much. >> CLICK for Scott Schnoll's response... http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid1_cid514349_tax285117,00.html Want more tips like this one?
