[Spambayes] Outlook; out of office reply

SpamBayes deliberately processes mail *after* all Outlook rules.  I think
(but am not 100%) that this includes the out-of-office rule (if you are
using Exchange, and use the server-side out-of-office, then it certainly
runs first).

Unless anyone else pipes up, the only way to know for sure is to try it, but
I believe so.  SpamBayes 1.1a1 includes the ability to move ham to a folder,
which effectively lets you run rules after SpamBayes, but I'm not sure that
you can set the out-of-office assistant to answer only mail arriving in a
certain folder.
