A "how to" has now been posted in a link from http://help.msu.edu/mail for setting up an auto reply vacation message. You will see the note at the bottom of the page that notes: ------------------------------------------------------------ "There have been requests to enhance this function so it provides more options (like starting and ending dates) and does not require as many steps to set it up. This will be reviewed for possible inclusion in future releases of mail.msu.edu." Scott G. Thomas Division Mgr, Computing Services 408A Computer Center Michigan State University 517-355-4500 x142
