This might be a valid complaint if it came from someone using an
equivalent (real) email program. But from a yahoo email user, using a
webmail advertising based program? You have got to be kidding.

Which is worse - a one time out of office message (it does not repeat
after the first one goes out)? Or the much longer mandatory advertising
trailer that we have to get with EVERY email sent by a yahoo user (see
below, "Be a better penpal...").

As a computer system administrator, I see yahoo email as one of the
biggest problems with email in today's Internet. It's the favorite email
for Nigerian scams and other types of marketing email. Criticize
Microsoft mail all you like but at least its providing an overall
beneficial purpose even if it may not be perfect in all its
functionality. Or if you actually use real email (not this lame "free"
but advertiser controlled web email), you are free to try and use other
email programs like Eudora or Thunderbird to find one that best matches
your preferences. Read and send email without advertisements.

Certainly another poor sap using Microsoft mail, which,
unlike every other mail reader known to man, is unable
to distinguish between "bulk" (mailing list) and personal
email in its vacation function.  Jeez, Gates, get with
1980s technology, would ya'?

I'll refrain from passing judgement on the double
toilet-synonym nature of the UID.  :-)
