I would like to setup an auto-responder in GMail that includes an attachment. I can setup the auto-responder without issue but how do I add an attachment to an auto-responder in GMail.

I am not sure if this can be done via gmail. I can suggest writing simple application that connects to your server, checks new emails and sends new email. I am sure there are plenty of similar free tools available online.

I have considered this but wanted to check the simple route if available. I will now look this route. Thanks – Lynda Mar 21 '12 at 3:20

The GMail automatic vacation response feature doesn't seem to allow attachments. However, you can include a link to the attachment in the response. You can upload the file to a Google Docs account, and share the file to anyone with the link. Or you could upload the file to some other file sharing service.

I have thought of that unfortunately I need it sent as an attachment not a link. – Lynda Mar 21 '12 at 3:19
