Re: Out of office message when a member of a DL

Thanks Phil for the info,

Sorry for stealing the thread , but I couldn't resist asking santa for a
belated xmas gift...

Please, please and please again

Add also

("Current Date", "greater than", “#DATE"),

So we can have a start and stop date for the message and not have to
activate it the day we want it to start.
