Outlook Out of Office Asst. should have a start/stop date feature

[LDL]

For those who travel frequently, it would be very helpful if Outlook Out of
Office Assistant had a start date feature (like the "reminder" feature in
tasks) that would allow you to enter a start date and time to begin the Out
of Office message, and the same feature to enter an end date and time. If you
don't travel with your laptop, and forget to turn the feature on, you're out
of luck.

An oft-requested feature.

The combination of Outlook 2007 + Exchange 2007 will provide this option.
