Step 1: Create a new plain text message.

When creating a new e-mail in plain text format, please be careful not to use Word as the e-mail editor, and enter what you want to display when replying automatically in the e-mail, such as "Sorry, I have something to do at the moment. In case of emergency, please dial 0 10- 12345678 "and leave your signature.

Step 2: Save as a template file

Choose Save As from the File menu to save the newly created e-mail as an Outlook template. For example, you can name it "Temporary Out of Office".

Step 3: Make rules.

Next, open the Rules and Notifications dialog box and create a new rule. Here, select "Start with a blank rule". Of course, the time to check the mail is still "check it when it arrives". Then, under "What conditions to test", select "Reply with a specific template", and then click "Specific template" to underline it.
