Vacation and Out Of Office
Here is a really nice time saving feature that I just found out about. When you create a calendar entry (Event, Meeting, Reminder, etc) and choose the category Vacation...
when you save the document Lotus Notes automatically asks you if you want to set up the Out of Office feature.
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.
