How to cancel auto-response in OE6

I have no message rules set up for any of my email accounts and I don't
remember ever setting up any kind of "out-of-office" auto-response message.
But somewhere, OE is automatically replying to all messages saying
"I am currently away from my computer.
I will contact you as soon as I return."

It even replies to the auto-reply messages each time they hit my in-box!

I run a daily virus check, and regularly run adaware and spybot and nothing
odd has ever come up with any of these. I've got windows XP

Anyone have an idea how to find what is generating this reply and how to
trun it off?

How do you know that OE is sending the out of office messages?
You probably have the out of office message setup in the webmail access for
your account.

OE doesn't have an OOF (Out of Office) option though Outlook (OL) does.

Your ISP may offer a similar Vacation option on the webmail's Tools or
Options page.
