Auto-reply in hotmail? Anyone know how?

[munckee]

Does anyone know how (or if you even can) set up an auto-reply in hotmail?

I've switched to gmail, but i still get the occassional message in my hotmail account. I'm tired of sorting through the 100+ pieces of junk mail every week just to find the three things that I actually want to read.

I'd like to set up and auto reply that points people to my new address.

only thing i can think off is quite complicated:

- install fetchmail (darwin ports)
- parse the message to get the header (from field)
- send an smtp mail the sender pointing out your new address

this is a quick reply so i might miss some details, but that's the idea 🙂

Bah. I'll take that as another example of "hotmail is crap, you can't do that".
