Can not change vacation mode autoreply back from vacation to off.

Ran into this using the old PR2 public build, think it is still a problem.

Reproduce:
-go to phonebook.mcom.com (a Netscape internal app - sorry mozilla - but it is a 
simple app like others that are on the web)
-go to your username
-press the button to "Edit Person", enter passwords as needed.
-when you can edit your name info, go down to auto-reply, change the setting to 
vacation and put in a msg.

Assuming that last step works (when you go back, the changes are saved), now do 
this.

-go back to this page to turn off your vacation mode.  

Results:
Notice that the autoreply setting is set to "off", not vacation.  But if you go 
there with 4.x, it is set to vacation just like you just set it.

Don't know now these 2 browsers could be different here, but this problem made 
it impossible for me to turn off my vacation msg using Netscape 6 - I had to 
revert to the old 4.x version.

I am not positive, but I think this is a duplicate of Bug 45818, event 
targetting is off on rowspans and I'll bet it is the same for colspans

This is bad and needs to be fixed for nsbeta3, so does bug 45818

This is not a dup of 45818. Marking nsbeta3- since nobody thought it was 
important enough to develop a test.

When I attempt to edit my name in the phonebook I get an error trying to access 
quermai.mcom.com. I'm not sure who should get this, but I'll start with 
Networking.

I cannot reproduce this with Linux build 2000100610.  But, since
this is reported as a problem under Win95, perhaps someone can
verify that it is no longer a bug?

->WORKSFORME (WindowsNT build 2000101008)
Reporter, please verify against latest build.

this WFM as far as networking is concerned. but going by the original summary of 
this bug I'd say there probably is more to it. Giving back to Chris.

This is still a problem. After setting the autoreply to "vacation" and 
revisiting the phonebook, the autoreply is "off" when editing but "vacation"  
when viewing, so the select was apparantly working ok when it originally got 
set. I tried exiting Mozilla and re-trying and it made no difference. 

I'm not sure who is responsible, but reassigning to pollmann as a first guess.

None of the options are selected in the source of the "edit" page, regardless of
what the setting is when we edit our entry.  Here is the relavant excerpt of the
source for the edit page:

<select NAME="autoSelect" onChange="autoReplyChanged()">
<option>off
<option>vacation
<option>reply
<option>echo
</select>

Since none are selected, we select the first by default.  Marking INVALID as
this is most likely a server side problem.  I'll contact the phonebook guru and
see if we can get it fixed.

FWIW, you can still turn off autoreply with 6.x, just leave "off" selected, then
click "save changes".
