Is there a way to set up an 'away message' for incoming emails?

Hi,

We are going on our WDW trip next week (gone for 10 days total) . I am just wondering if there is a way to set your PC to automatically send a generic type of message like ''I will not have access to my email until Aug 15 and will not be able to respond to questions until then, please know that I will get back to you as soon as possible, thanks for your patience" for my eBay buyers who may have questions regarding their items/shipping?

I just don't want anyone to think I am blowing off their questions or non-responsive. I do not have any current auctions, but a few just ended and their packages have been or will be sent shortly. I always give my customers their trcking #'s as soon as I get them so that they know when to expect their items.

Should I just send an email out to all recent buyers? I just don't like letting people who have access to my home address to know I will be gone.

Any thoughts or advice? (I have aol, btw)

TIA
wendy

I know with aol9.0, you just got to mail at the top where it has file, edit, mail...and scroll almost all the way down till it says away message...if you have another version, maybe you can just do keyword-mail away message or something

The keyword thing worked, it has exactly what I needed (away until whatever time message)...Thanks Blueeyes, you're the BEST!!!!
