A cut and paste from the vendors forum_ ClintH suggested I post here as apparently we haven't this function_ any chance? Hi all, newbie vendor question_ Is there any way of giving an 'away on vacation' message to anyone attempting to contact you through IM? I returned from 2w vacation to a series of increasingly frantic (and laterly angry) mails from a purchaser who had a problem with one of my products (he'd intended to use it commercially in a project with a deadline_so i sort of understood his angst!) It would be nice to be able to put a message on such as 'back from vacation on ...' It wouldn't have solved his problem but it might have looked less like I'd tried to fleece him and run!!
