Lots of idiots do it.

Does anyone know if there's a way to not trigger Outlook's out of office 
messages?  When sending email to a bunch of people (say 5,000) it's very 
annoying to have to wade through all of the "hi I got your message" trash 
along with the legitimate replies.

There's only two solutions that I can think of:

- Microsoft gets smart enough to insert a special header into their messages
  indicating that it is an automated message (I haven't seen such a header),
  this would make it easy to filter out.
- In the original mail that I send, I set some header that makes Outlook's
  autoresponder not respond to the email

Anyone know if something like the above exists?
