2. Out of office sick leave template. You don’t need to tell the sender too much, but it is important to say you won’t be available. If it is a long-term illness, you might not have a date set for your return.
The one from “Central Intelligence” with the Rock that I love is is (paraphrasing) :
If your message requires a response faster than that, please email my manager at [email protected].

Will this work if the phone is in airplane mode? I am hiking in the Sierras with no cell service.
Again, this will depend HUGELY on what sort of role it is (an external-facing vendor, for example, should probably not use something like this). But for many internal requests, it is not power-tripping to ask someone to either redirect their email or wait until a later date to send it.
Thank you for your email. I’m currently out of the office until [date] to celebrate the holiday with my loved ones—without my phone in front of my face.
