Read an Out-of-Office messege without sending an email

[Raz]

Hi guys,

My company is using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5 to communicato and deliver
E-MAILS between the workers.

I was wondering if there is any way to read an OOF (Out-of-Office) messege
of users without actually sending them any email.

this will be really helpful to a project I'm working on to try and monitor
the status of some workers.

I don't mind using some vba code to do it or using some other application
such as Telnet.

Thanks!
