Lotus-Notes OoO clarification

The agent asks us returning date. However it assumes that we become available that same day too!
  • The dialog lets us specify (I will be out of office...) leaving and returning dates.
  • The first paragraph of OoO message will become: "I will be out of the office starting {leaving date} and will not return until {returning date}."

At returning date (before morning), the agent will send 2 emails to mailbox owner:
  1. Subject: Welcome Back!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, Open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Disable' button.
    While you were out, the 'Out of Office' agent notified the following people of your absence. .....

  2. Subject: Reminder Please Turn Off your Out Of Office Agent
    This is a repeat reminder!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Enable/Disable' button.

So, if we are away, such as on vacation, during date 10 to 14 and will be available at 15; set returning date to 15.
