Sent my rental request for this winter to Alain, didn't bother me no immediate answer, saw this thread, checked my Junk folder and Alains auto reply was there! - an almost immediate reply to my request
So thanks for TTOL to remind me to check
Note - the last 2 yrs of rental with Alain, I used a gmail account - always got an immediate autoreply, then a follow up with my quote. This yr used a hotmail account, the hotmail account put the autoreply in it's Junk folder.
Perhaps that might account for the change
