An opportunity for the daring (like yours truly) to be wags,  the priggish to be patronise — [[Dear Sender]] — and for the anal to clog up the word's inboxes by mysteriously contriving an automatically generated out-of-office message that replicates itself like a fruit-fly and issues in triplicate however many emails you send to the same person.
{{a|email|}}An opportunity for the daring (like yours truly) to be wags,  the priggish to be patronise — [[Dear Sender]], [[please be advised]] and so on — and for the anal to clog up the word's inboxes by mysteriously contriving an automatically generated out-of-office message that replicates itself like a fruit-fly and issues in triplicate however many emails you send to the same person. At first plush this seems to require ninja outlook skills but the [[JC]] reckons it is quite the opposite: basic ignorance — and involves setting up an auto-reply as an email rule rather than as a dedicated out-of-office message.


We suspect that those who generate multiple out-of-office messages are the same sort of folk who have never discovered their “[[sent items]]” folder, and hence cc themselves onto every [[email]] message they send, just so they don’t lose it.
