But before this can be done, some people will need email clients that can
differentiate between random direct email and a posting from a mailing list.
If you only have one way to post a vacation message and it has no options,
you have two choices: use it or don't.
Which is fine, unless you have NO choices because unenlightened corporate
policy says you WILL use a vacation message. (And it WILL include a
corporate-mandated footer about proprietary information, and you must eat
this email message if it wasn't intended for you.)
