2) Hi. I’m thinking about what you’ve just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.

Anyway, I refuse to put that in my out of office messages.

Alternatively, some people will check their email while on vacation. Then, the text should indicate how often people may expect their email to be seen and acted upon.
Here are some suggestions for what you should always include in your auto-reply emails when you are out of the office:
I will be out of the office from Nov 3rd to Nov 10th with no access to my emails.

Now make your email unique when you are out for traveling for work and be a standard part of the job. If you are traveling to a conference you can set up your email.
If you’ll be away for a portion of time observing a holiday, create a cheerful auto-reply in your absence! Instead of my phone, it’s the jingle bells that will be ringing until 1/2; I will be out of office until then, please expect a reply with 24 hours of my return. I’m leaving on a jet plane!
