I've never really used Categories much, so I had not noticed this before.

If you'd like to learn more about how the Out of Office Agent is being completely redesigned for the next release of Lotus Notes/Domino, please read slides 42-48 in the Lotusphere 2006 presentation: AD213 - Demystifying the IBM Lotus Notes Out of Office Agent .  Also you can read a thread about this on Ed Brill's Blog, where Lotus Notes enthusiast Przemyslaw Baczkiewicz introduced me to this great feature.
