I want to automatically reply to certain messages using message rules.
I saved the standard reply in My Documents as an email file.
When the reply goes out, though, it sends the reply as an attachment, and
with nothing in the message.

This link is for an Out Of Office reply which is virtually the same as
yours. You would just have to make an adjustment for *who* gets the replies.

Beware, however: IFF you get spam, an auto-reply will simply
relay that spem to some other innocent party, as in, whatever
address happens to be in the forged From of the spam. IF it's a
real address, as they often are, you'll be giving your spam to
some innocent party.
This can get you reported to your ISP for spamming.
Probably not a problem if you only get one or two spams a
week, but ... it IS a way to spam without meaning to. Can cause
problems with your ISP including killing your access.
Try to ONLY reply to those in your address book can help; if
you have it under control.

HTH,

Save the message as a .txt or .htm file instead of an .eml file and it will
go into the body.
