1. I am currently out of the office at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Please be prepared for my mood.

2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.

3. Sorry to have missed you, but I'm at the doctor's having my brain and heart removed so I can be promoted to our management team.

4. I will be unable to delete all the emails you send me until I return from vacation. Please be patient, and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

5. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.

6. The email server is unable to verify your server connection. Your message has not been delivered. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see who did this over and over and over.....)

7. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.

8. Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.

9. I've run away to join a different circus.

10. I will be out of the office for the next two weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as 'Steve' instead of Wendy.

Only gets sent the first time they email, think i like this one the most though, might have to save these for future use
 
Are we supposed to add to these?

11. Your message could not be delivered because the recipient's mailbox is full. But worry not, nothing of particular importance was found within and thus has been deleted.

12. I am currently on annual leave. Please direct all enquires to the IT Helldesk.
 
I can add a real one from our mad MD.

Thanks for your email but alas & alack, I am further away that you could possibly imagine! I am on top on of a peak in Alaska!

I shall not be forwarding this to anybody so you best email it to XXXXXXXX if it can't wait until 9th June.

For an update on what's going on ( an opportunity to sponsor me!) please go to www.XXXXX

So au revoir & may your ying and yang be aligned until I return when I will* reply .

(* unless it's really dull, in which case take it that this is all you'll get from me :¬). )

Live free,

Seen them before, funny though.

I personally love the real ones where someone you work with puts you as a contact to cover their work when they are out of office, when you have little to no idea what the hell they usually get up to.
 
Heh, like 'em... gonna use #7 when I go on my hols.

Booner, your MD's one was a good attempt but he needs to brush up on his grammar - especially considering he's an MD.
 
Stupid question guys, but where in Outlook does one set these replies? I've always been curious but get lost in all the options on the client.
 
OP - thank you for your post :)

It's my last shift in the office today - new job starts on Mon and I may have to implement one of your automatic replies :p
