Yahoo Auto Reply

Yahoo Auto Reply is an application addressed to all Yahoo Messenger users, offering them simple utilities to auto-respond to any received message.

Although it’s supposed to be easy to navigate, Yahoo Auto Reply's interface is rather unprofessional, mostly due to the font that seems to be way too small and difficult to read. It helps the app get the job done, that's true, but such an application deserves a much more appealing look.

Besides the fact that it allows you to configure a default autoreply message to be shown to all the contacts that send you a message while the app is running, Yahoo Auto Reply enables you to create special statuses for multiple groups.

The program shows a received message log so it's easy to manage the messages you receive while being away, with some brief statistics displayed right in the main window.

The configuration screen is just minimal, allowing to you write down the default autoreply message and choose whether to reply to every incoming message, to every alternate message, every second or third message received or do not send any reply and just log the message.

For a better performance on slower machines, Yahoo Auto Reply comes with a lite version as well, which can be enabled from the settings menu. It automatically disables all graphics, making everything run smoother.

Still, Yahoo Auto Reply is the kind of program that runs on low resources, without slowing down the operating system at all.

As a conclusion, Yahoo Auto Reply is a must have tool for Yahoo Messenger aficionados. It works with most Yahoo Messenger versions, both newer and older, and it's very easy to use and configure.
