“I will be out of the office between date and date. If your email requires urgent attention please contact Insert Name Here.” Imo that’s enough

I once worked with a guy whose out of office reply stated that he was out at an interview, and whether or not he returned depended on how the interview went. He returned, so I guess it didn’t go THAT well.
