If you're testing with the same other email, in some systems you only get an away message once, even if you email the person a bunch of times when they're gone.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Ohhhhh. That must be it. If anyone knows my first name, can you please send an email to (my first name) @earthlink.net and tell me if you get the message? Thanks.
Yep, I got it.
Wooo! Thanks, Jesse.
Can anyone tell me a possible reason why my computer spontaneously shuts itself off and restarts? It's happened three times in the last thirty minutes. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I'm doing when it happens. Norton says it doesn't have a virus. It's a Pentium 4 PC running Windows XP, and I've only had it two months. This is very frustrating.
not completely connected power cord?
Checked. Power cord plugged in.
Is it plugged in with a bunch of other stuff? Try switching to another outlet.
It could be overheating.
Could be... but it doesn't feel particularly hot, and the fan always sounds like a vaccuum cleaner every time it starts up. There's nothing blocking the vents. I dunno; I'll turn it off for a while and maybe it'll magically fix itself.
