Status and Auto-response — Trillian Style!

Hello, I’ve been using Trillian 2.013 Pro ever since it came out. I enjoy using it, but I usually encounter a silent crash:(, I don’t know why. My computer is a P4 2.53BGHz with 512MB DDR266 and running Windows XP Pro with SP1 and all the critical patches.

Okay, now, back to the main subject…. I would just like to know if there’s any way to patch the original Yahoo! Messenger client (6,0,0, 1671) for it to give an auto-response to people who message me. Also, I would like my status to be set on Idle even if I’m using the computer[:P]! Is there any way to do that aside from using Trillian? Thanks!
