Sorry about this but can anyone tell me how I can sign off the mail-base (temporarily) and get back on again? I'm going to be away in the Caribbean for fours months on a Commonwealth Fellowship and need to leave my email as clear as possible for other communications. I'ld like to come back on again from 1st January 1998 when I'll be back. Many thanks to whoever can help...
