[Shop-talk] wanting suggestions: quality tools for gift (THANKSFOR THE REPLIES)

I also recall that happening here years ago.  However I run a few lists on Yahoo and 
we had a similar problem.  Somehow Yahoo (and their re$ource$) solved this problem 
and we still kept the auto reply to the list as standard procedure.  Just sayin......<grin>

“But if it auto-replies to a Team.Net mail message, and the response goes out
to the entire list, then the same auto-reply will see the response message
from the list and send out another response.  Etc, etc; the result is a huge
storm of useless messages going to everyone on the list.  And of course the
only person who can fix the auto-reply is off on vacation or whatever, so
has no idea about what they have done.” 

I remember that very thing happening on the team.net list back in the 90’s. Thousands of messages from one guy saying “ I’m out of the office” showed up in members mailbox. Mark was out of town. Took hours to delete them.
