For example, our friend Tony Rose:

Hi,

I will be out of the office and unable to reply to e-mail until August
21st.

If you need to reach technical support please contact Karen Liu,
[email protected] and [email protected], for business issues,
please contact Jim Queen, [email protected] or Paul Healy,
[email protected].

Best Regards,

Tony Rose

I'd rather receive this myself everytime I post something in this
mailing list than to have this kind of message archived on the list.


Please, can you all use decent mail systems, and this includes:
- Not using Outlook because it doesn't include In-Reply-To headers and
  completely breaks threading
- Not using broken vacation systems that replies to Precendende: list or
  bulk
- Not using broken mail systems that also delivers NDR's to these 
  Precedences
- Not using broken vacation systems that always reply back - it should
  reply only once per From address, as a minimum functionality
- Not create a new thread by replying to an existing message, making
  your message appear inside a thread and certainly be ignored

"Let's all make these lists a better place."

Thanks ;)
