Outlook and Netscape do not reside on the server, they would have to connect
to the server to find mesages and then respond. I have found that now that
I have had autoresponses availible to our users that they find it upsetting
now that they are unavailble. Most often they are used as "Vacation"
messages, so that when they are away, all messages that come in are sent an
instant reply letting the sender know that the recipiant is away. I really
don't see it being such a complicated thing to do, and it would add to the
functionality of the program.
Am I really the only one that would like to see this added?
