Out of Office functionality

[Mike Pokraka]

Can't make everyone happy eh? Well, maybe one can:

Lotus Notes:
Out of Office --> Tab Exceptions
Do not automatically reply to mail addressed to: sap-wug at mit.edu

Microsoft Lookout:
Tools -> Out Of Office -> some setting ... I'm not connected to an 
Exchange Swerver but it can't be rocket science.

Set it once and it should stay that way every time you turn OO on.

Cheers
Mike
