I need a simple VBA script to automatic reply certain messages

[fpohl]

Hello,

I am new to VB and I´ve been trying to code a script that will perform a simple task. I need this script to run automatically in Microsoft Outlook 2003 and do the following:
1 - Once started, the script will reply to a specific message
2 - Insert before the original text the following text:
" Hello <e-mail address from sender>. Thanks for your e-mail sent at <current time or time the email was received> with the subject <e-mail subject>. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
3 - Send the e-mail with the above text and the original text

I can creat inbox rules to run the script, but I lack programing experience so I can start coding what I need. If anybody has done this before or can show me a code that does this, or code similar that I can try to alter, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is what I got so far.
Now all I need are two things
1 - Instead of starting a new e-mail, I want to REPLY to a specific email.
So I guess I have to change sometinhg in the Set msg = ApplicationCreateItem(olMailItem),

2 - Set some variables with the sender´s address, current time and subject so I can replace them in the message body.

Sub HelloWorldTeste()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oEmail As Object
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set objApp = Application
msg.Subject = "Hello World!"
msg.Body = "Hello <sender>. I received your e-mail at <current time> with the subject <subject>. I will return to you as soon as possible"
msg.Display
Set msg = Nothing
End Sub
