Let's say that you're at a conference, or on a field trip, or just plain on holiday, and you want to let people who email you know immediately that you are not present to respond in a timely manner. Well, you can setup your NSU mail to automatically respond with a message that you customize to anyone who emails you. It's very simple, really. The hard part is remembering, upon your return, to turn this feature off!

Setting up AutoReply Email:

• Open a browser, like Netscape Communicator, and go to NSU MailSite Express (http://mail.nsuok.edu), or click .
• Enter your NSU UserID.
• Enter your NT-NSU Password.
• Click ' Log On'.
• Click on the 'Options' link in the left margin.
• Click on the 'General' link.
• At the bottom, check the 'Enable auto-reply message' box.
• Enter the message you would like sent as the reply when email messages are sent to you.
• Click the 'Update Preferences' button below the message area.
• Click 'Log Off,' and close your browser.

You're now set to Auto Reply everyone who emails you.

Important Note: Write yourself a note to Disable the Auto Reply upon your return by simply following the above procedures, with the exception of 'un'checking the 'Enable auto-reply message' box. Your message can be retained, you will merely have to enable auto-reply message in the future.
