How will you keep emailers at bay while you're away on vacation? In Eudora Pro, write a reply with a blank "To" field. Save it using the "Stationery" option. Next, create a filter for incoming messages by going to the "Tools" menu and clicking on "Filters." Start a new filter and select "To" in the header and "Is" from the next list. Type in your email address, choose "Reply With" under "Action," and select the message you created.
