Yes, this is what I have done. I needed to set up a change of email address. I used 'Except if it is an automatic reply.' After all when Outlook sends the out the auto reply upon receipt of an email and then their system sends an auto reply to your auto reply...the auto reply emails will be replying to each other forever!! )))
How do I make an auto-answer by saying that I will answer as soon as possible in Hotmail where I get the email and I will answer when I can where I'm there but I say I answer when I can??
