When I use the Out of Office Assistant (using Outlook
2002) it only sends my out of office message once to the
person sending me an email. If the same person emails me
again, they do not get the message again. Is there a way
every email, regardless of if it's a duplicate sender, can
receive my out of office message?

But if your sender has received an out of office mail, why should he want
another?
 
No. This is by design, to prevent the possibility of endless mail loops
between auto-replying accounts.

Not a good idea. Suppose you subscribe yourself to a mailing list. Then,
when a message arrives from the list, your Outlook will send an "Out of
Office" message to the list, which will send it to you, which will send an
"OO" to the list, which will send it to you, which ...

It's a design feature that the OO assistant only sends one message to any
given address.
