You're correct in saying that OOO messages from Exchange are offensive. =
However, I don't think you should necessarily consider the subscriber as =
the offender - I for one have no choice in what email software is run at =
my corporate office. Everyone in my corporate IT group is so busy =
continually justifying their existence and staking their ground that =
there's no chance that they'll switch platforms.
Heck, the Windoze guy turns almost white when I talk about taking over =
the DNS servers.

When/if I get tired of getting the admin box full of such, I find
unsubscribing the offender to be a good cure.
