So-called auto-responder or "out of office reply" is handy if you are away or for some reason cannot read email for a period. People who send email to you will get a reply that the email is received, but will not be read or answered promtly. The auto-responder function is connected to each email account. If you have several email addresses that are assigned to the same email account, the auto-responder comprises all these email addresses.

There may be situations in which you wish to automatically notify senders that you have received their message. It is often necessary to let people know that you will be away from your e-mail for an extended period of time. In the "Reply From" bar, set the return address you would like to appear on the auto-reply that is sent. In the "No Reply From' box, set people that you do not want your auto-reply sent to that might receive mail. Enter their email address here.

If you click "reply" to respond to a posted message, your reply will go to the whole list. If you prefer your message to go only to the individual poster, you must change the email address in the "to" section. If your reply is continuing the discussion of the previous topic, please leave that topic in the subject field of the message. If you are changing the topic, please change the word or phrase in the subject field, in order to describe your new topic.
