I find it rude because if I emailed them, it might be an FYI but requiring no action. If they just delete it, they might then be confused about project status later. I would be annoyed to have to re-send a message after the fact because they don’t think ANY email during their time off has value.

An automatic response is a pre-designated reply that is generated by a software program for incoming messages. For example, a user may set up an automatic reply for incoming e-mails that let the sender know their e-mail was received. Can you set auto reply text messages? When you first launch the app, tap the Add/Edit button to create a new rule. Give it a name, like “At Work” or “Sleeping,” and write your message in the text box. You can then go to Set Time to set the time, date, or days of the week you want that rule to be active. Privacy Policy Contact Us About Us Ask Your Question
