Hi Abigail, Glad it was of help to you.
I am curious to know how much auto-responders help in situations like this. I work in the State Senate as a Legislative Aide to a Senator. When we start to get a large amount of email on a particular subject, we create an auto-responder that will let the constituent know we received the email and let them know how the Senator stands on the issue (in a generic, in general sort of way). You wouldn't believe all the nasty letters we have received back claiming the Senator doesn't care, they want a personal letter, blah, blah... I haven't yet figured out a solution to the problem with my company. Because of my experiences with the Senate, I am reticent to turn to auto-responders, but on the other hand, I can't answer all the emails I get immediately. Let me know if you have any positive/negative effects to the auto-responses, 'k?

I don't like autoresponders, I think I will start sending out short, form response when I have received email that I can't get around to answering right away, or when I am forwarding it on to someone else in my organization for an answer. -Abigail ____ .
