Out of Office Reply

G

Gary Ryan

I have Outlook 2007. Until the latest product update, for years, I have been
able to set up a new rule on the machine and send an out of office reply to
any and all emails that come until the computer using the user template
message I created in plain text. (And, no, we do not have an exchange server.)

With the latest software update, I can no longer send an out of office
reply. All I get is an error message.

Does anyone know of the problem or a fix????

Thanks.

Hello Diane:

I turned the rule back on and the Outlook error message is "Cannot reply to
message." It does not tell me anything more than that. I scrolled all the way
to the right hand side. The message is not an antivirus program message.

As I noted, I have been able to apply the rule the same way for the last
couple of years and it worked fine. I deleted the rule and even redid it a
couple of times. No luck. The only difference I noted was the last system
update.

Exactly how does the rule read and what is the exact error message?
