auto reply to incoming e-mails

How do I configure my e-mail to auto-reply to incoming e-
mails. I have checked in the tools menu and there is no
reference.

If you do this, you will have to leave your computer on 24/7, be
connected to the internet, and have OE open. If you want do this
anyway, the link below will explain how to do it. One thing I would
suggest is that where it says to create a rule and check For All
Messages, you change it and make the rule for people in your address
book only. Otherwise you will be replying to Spam as well.

It's a Message Rule you have to set up.

Create a reply message using Notepad and save it to the Desktop as a .txt
file.

Tools | Message Rules | Mail
Select "For All Messages"
Select "Reply with message"
Select Stop Processing More Rules"


Next select the 'message' and on the dialog box, change the File of type
to Text File (*.txt)
Navigate to your message you created and select it.

Name the rule.

Move the rule to the top of the list.
