Setting up Email Autoresponse

**Rich Lucibella** · February 17, 2000, 03:16 PM

I'm using Netscape 4.7. Can anyone tell me how to set up a "vacation message" that will be sent automatically in response to incoming email?

Rich,

I don't think you can do that. If you're lucky, your ISP may do it for you from the mail server. Mine doesn't.

Rich, I believe Netcom has the vacation autoresponder available since they were acquired by Mindspring. Go to your tech support page for Netcom, and they should be able to set you up.

You're right. Unfortunately, I didn't get your info in time. Now I've got a backlog of 540+ emails!
