In Outlook you can set the out of office reply to only be sent when you
receive messages addressed to you. That prevents the message from going
to listserv's.

        My firm wants me to use the out-of-office greeting whenever I'm
out during normal hours (dental appointments, meetings, etc.) I don't
want to unsubscribe or postpone every time I'm out for a couple of
hours, so you get stuck with my out-of-office greeting. If anyone has a
better suggestion, I'm all ears.
         
        Re: posting thanks without the answer: I concur! Please tell us
the answer, as many of us may find it useful.

                re: out of office replies: Nope. We've tried for years
to tell librarians to UNSUBSCRIBE before they leave town, but .... To me
though, it's a small price to pay for the joy of being able to call on
my fellow librarians for their expertise. And isn't it nice that they
don't want to miss a single law-lib message even though they are out of
town (personally, though, I unsubscribe - there is a limit! :-)
                 
                re: My real gripe (mild): Yours is at least the 3rd
"thank you" message posted this week where the person who posted the
question neglected to post the ANSWER for the rest of us to learn from.
PLEASE, everyone, don't just say thank you, if there is the slightest
chance that at least one other law-lib member might like to know the
answer to the question you posted. Post the answer! Just because a
couple people respond to the list, doesn't mean the perfect answer
didn't go to you and you only. A lot of people are Reply-All-shy. So
strip out the personal data, but post the responses.
                 
                Many thanks,

                        Thanks for all the helpful comments.

                        Is there a way to send a message to law-lib
without getting 25 out-of-office replies in return?
