Someone said there are no dumb questions -- only dumb answers.

About a month ago, I used the 'Rules' in Mail.app to do an automatic
response -- something simple like:

"I'll be away from my office until Thursday, May 8."

It is still appearing and I don't know how to turn it off!

In my list of about a dozen rules (in mail/preferences), I don't find
any special rule that relates to the autoresponse.

How can I turn this off?

Is there any other way (without automator) to do an autoresponse?

Can I delete ~/library/mail/messagerules.plist

and get rid of this?

Thanks!

Is it possible you set it at your mail server and not in Mail.app?

Did you configure an iMap server?

Check the contents of each rule; the name of the rule may not correspond
to the action.

Also, check out Dave Balderstone's suggestion.
