But there's a third possibility: some OOO messages go to the "Sender:" address in the message header. That generally means the list owner gets them--one per post to the list. I'm generally NOMAILing the subscription and sending a notice explaining why I'm doing so, with a link to the archive so they can catch up on lost mail. I also make a note of the return date, go back in the next day, and set the subscription back to MAIL. That might be too much involvement for a lot of list owners, but it happens to fit in pretty well with my overall method of minding problem subscriptions. Hal Keen
