How does one set up out-of-office reply so that the subject line that
get's sent back to recipient says "out-of-office reply"? Not just the
content of the email? There may not be a way with OE - but any other
XP program?

Chris

While you're OOF, possibly for days at a time, do you want to (1) leave your
computer running, (2) connected to the internet, (3) with OE also running
and (4) configured to poll for new messages on a schedule and then (5) reply
to /every/ incoming message, (6) including spam (which confirms your email
address to the spammers and tells criminals you're away)?

If so, I can tell you how...

It's not a good idea. When you receive spam, your auto reply will respond
to it. And, since most spammers addresses are either forged, false, or
using someone else's, you will end up in an endless loop...which could
eventually cause your email account to be closed down.

I would not recommend it, no.
