"Check the box next to 'Only send a response to people in my Contacts' if you don't want everyone who emails you to know that you're away from your mail."

From this you can limit it to only those people you know...which means that if spam does get through it won't send an auto-response to them.

Surprised that nobody has commented on the rumour (rumor) that Google is going to buy up/has already bought up Opera. Any news?

Both features are now available from my Gmail account.

I'm assuming I can't post them here directly. Here's a link to a web page with some bad graphics. I haven't yet used either feature. With groups, you apparently select your users first and click Group.

can we get a REPLY button at the top of the Gmail window instead of just at the bottom?

that's the only improvement I need.

tho I wish it would quit reformatting my signature.

I have the feature as well. However I had to reload my GMail for them to function properly. GMail usually reloads itself in the case it has some code updates. However it was not this time.

Cool... I have the feature now too (they don't seem to have announced it yet). When you want to send to a group, you can just type it into the address field:

When you hit enter, it expands it, putting all e-mail addresses from that group into the field.
