For those of you who use Windows Live! Messenger, I have created a simple little plugin that Auto-Reponds a message that you set.
Instructions:
1. Download the attached DCOMAutoReply.AddIn.dll and put it in the MSN Messenger directory. (C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\).
2. Enable AddIns for Live Messenger: Run 'regedit' and go to the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\ and edit the key 'AddInFeatureEnabled' to a value of 1. If the key does not exist then create it. (Its a DWORD type).
3. Restart Live Messenger. Now go to Tools->Options->AddIns and click the button 'Add to Messenger' and browse for DCOMAutoReply.AddIn.dll that you placed in the MSN Messenger directory.
To actually turn the AddIn on, you must click the drop down arrow next to your name and click 'Turn on DCOMAutoResponder'. You can now use the settings button in the AddIn options tab to change the message displayed when you have the AddIn turned on.

Yes, but I think messenger plus is horribly bloated and has a lot of crap in it ( like messenger itself tbh, but meh... ). I will certainly be trying this plugin out.
EDIT: Ok, problem: There is no tools->options->addins section in my messenger live options (and I did do the regedit change)...

The problem was actually that regedit didnt save my changes for some wierd reason. I created the key and set it to 1, but when I loaded regedit up again to double check a few mins after I posted that the new key had gone and about 20 new ones had appeared in its place... (I know it was the same location as regedit opens in the last location you were looking at)
Probably some funky vista crap going on there, anyway it works now
