O.P. RE: Praise and Improvement
Something else that I've noticed through continued use that could be refined in an updated version of Msg+:

Within auto-responses, the Auto-R is applied to myself as well as my contact, this is a little peculiar.

I should in theory be able to post to the contact as many times as I like, whenever I like, without being reminded by my own auto-response that I the sender, 'may be away from my computer and therefore unable to respond', given that... I was the one who sent the message! :) So I know exactly where I am!

These auto-responses and time delay management settings should only really apply to incoming messages, not out-going ones too! :D

With the exception that everytime I send a message to the contact, these time delay settings would restart, thus assuming the fact that I am now situated back at my computer, and able to accept limited incoming communication again up until either the time delay runs out, or I send a response again which would restart the clock.


Cheers.

One furthur observation. Does the time delay on Auto-R not apply if I close the conversation window? I hope it does. Otherwise its purpose is made a little redundant... as I know very few users who keep every single conversation window open all the time during Messenger use.

I have also noticed that rather than sending the auto-response and minimizing the window as you would normally expect, I am automatically confronted with the conversation window regardless of whether I am 'Away' or 'Busy' doing something else. This is to my mind intrusive to system usage, and I have had this issue make Msg+ take away all my control from another webpage and focus on this convo at hand.

An Auto-R I had hoped was supposed to do my 'reply' communication for me, not disable me from doing anything but. And at the moment, Messenger's default minimization technique without an Auto-R is more desireable to unhindered usage than the Msg+ Auto-R facility, it seems.

Please note that these suggestions are designed to alert the developers of areas of possible improvement and refinement. I am not looking to merely pick holes in its current functionality to degrade the quality of the product. I think Msg+ does some pretty fantastic things, I am simply aiming to encourage its growth. :)

I would hope that's clear.

Cheers.
