The holidays are are also the perfect time to take a vacation from reading and answering email. While you will read and reply to all mail when you're back from the vacation (of course), telling people who try to reach you about your holidays right away is a nice idea.

If you have a permanent connection and don't turn off your computer while away from home anyway, Eudora can send these vacation auto-replies for you automatically.
