You have to be kidding!
I had to contact my case officer at Australia House which I did by email and this is the auto-response I got - cut and pasted, nothing changed:
"I will be out of the office starting 18/06/2004 and will not return until 15/05/2030.
I will respond to your message when I return."
I hope it's a joke or a typo!

hopefully - not quite sure how they came to that though
might be worth giving them a call, just to check they haven't been put on 'leave until further notice...' or something!!

If it's a joke it's in very poor taste :lecture:

Maybe he is on that spaceship -probe thingy that just orbited Uranus or some other planet today! It will take him ages to get back.

Typical Australian public servant; can't set up an auto-responder correctly.

I remember one of my colleague sent a private mail with reply all.

Left?
I started this thread and for those that responded and are curious as to "why"; the reason is that the case officer has left!
The person I spoke to "has no idea how that auto-response was generated".
?
