Once I got an auto reply from a stakeholder on a project that said something to the effect of “Thanks for contacting me. Due to the large volume of email I receive, I don’t read them all. If I haven’t responded within 3 business days, please try again.”
I would say that "best of luck" would refer to something more specific, Whereas "All the best" is a generic well-wishing.

In this image, you’re letting people know you’re OOO with a “Missing” notice on a milk carton. Genius. Just be careful — this sort of autoresponder is best for internal emails, not for autoresponders that get sent to prospects and clients.
If you need immediate assistance before then, you may reach me at my mobile – (Mobile Number).

Seconded, with one exception: I got one once from a distant coworker which said “I have broken my arm in a kitten-related fall and will be out for (…)”. Everyone else uses boilerplate language so that one definitely stood out, but I thought it was the right level of mildly amusing.
A ‘Type A’ who can’t ever fully switch-off from work… at least they’re honest about it!
(Aside: at my job, when you open a new browser window, a random picture of employee pets pops up. It changes every time. I could just refresh all day long.)
How long you’re out of the office forWho to contact while you’re awayYour return date
I will be out of the office from Nov 3rd to Nov 10th with no access to my emails.
This is so timely for me as I begin a 2 week vacation in 15 days (no I’m not counting days or anything). I have been agonizing over how much detail to share in my Out of office message as I will be completely unreachable during this time.
That’s also annoying because if it’s not someone I interact with regularly I will wonder if it’s been left on by accident.
