Hi All
It's so easy to do! You send an email just before you switch on your Out of Office reply to [log in to unmask] that simply reads in the body SET * NOMAIL (nothing in the subject line and nothing else in the body text), then when you return to work and have switched off your Out of Office reply you send another to the same address reading SET * MAIL.
In the period you are away, your normal emails will come through and get the Out of Office response, while discussion lists will not be delivered and will therefore not receive your Out of Office response. You can then hop onto the JISCmail website when you return to catch up on any discussions you may have missed while you were away.
Hope this is helpful!
Best wishes

Subject: Re: Anne B. Good is out of the office.
I don't question that Anne B. Good is a good, respectable colleague in
the field, even though I don't know her personally (and only "know" her
via her automated messages!)
But I think some people on this list are trying to say that her
automated "vacation" messages do become a little irksome, particularly
for more active list members who may see several of these automated
messages every time she is out of town. And this has been recurring,
or so I believe, for years.
I suggest that the listowners for Disability-Research explore whether
there might be a way to set up a filter so that certain types of
automated messages (perhaps based on a common string of words that are
often used in automated messages but not in "live" messages) are
automatically routed to a list moderator for review before being passed
on to the list. That way the moderator can pass it along (if the
filter caught it in error) or else quietly delete it (if it is another
"out of town" message, regardless of who "sent" the message).
Or, if a technical solution is not feasible on the side of the
listserv, then perhaps some of the colleagues who know her could gently
suggest to Anne B. Good that, when she is out of town, she might want
to consider either
1. playing with her automated message settings (perhaps there is a way
to set it so that some email addresses receive the alert but other
addresses, such as the listservs she is on, do not? depending how
sophisticated her system is)
2. or, if she cannot figure out an approach to filtering who receives
her automated messages, then she might wish to consider altering her
settings on this list to "nomail" or equivalent when she is out of
town, then she can catch up on the archives when she returns.
