How to create an auto reply?

For MSN Email.

Sometimes it is opened in IE 7.x

Sometimes it is opened in OE 6.x

Server URL:
http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata

Internet Explorer, nor any other browser, is an e-mail client. You will
need to see if the *service* provides an option that you can enable for
an auto-responder. Since MSN uses Hotmail and since Hotmail provides no
auto-responder, that option is not available to you with that e-mail
provider. You could check if your e-mail provider has rules that you
can define to perform the equivalent of an auto-responder. I don't
think Hotmails server-side rules have such an option.

You will need to use a real e-mail client, like the OE that you mention,
to connect to your mailbox that will poll for new mails, yank them, and
then use a rule to perform an auto-reply function. Remember that an
auto-responder, server-side or client rule driven, will reply to all
spam, too.
