I am not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but I could not resist having the last word: why use Entourage to send vacation mail when we have (dam dam daaa)

Cute Klaus. :p

If it's too difficult to set up a proper auto-responder in Entourage then I hate to imagine what might happen when people start playing with vacation!

tell application "Finder"
delete file "usr:bin:vacation"
empty
end tell

Thank goodness that sendmail is disabled by default! ;-)

Funny thing, or not. I have received more mail in response to Ethan's goof than I received from the goof itself. The responses also outnumber spam messages received in the same period of time. These unscientific stats indicate that we should let the vacation auto-responders go nuts and then refuse to discuss it. I'm sure that Ethan would have preferred this approach. ;-)
