Finally I can selectively autoreply with "I'm not sure what you are talking about, you must have the wrong person."

The feature is something I've really wanted, but I can't figure out how to use it. I turned it on and tried to make a filter but the 'canned response' checkbox was greyed out and the menu says 'No canned responses'. How do I make a canned response? Also, the feedback link for the feature goes to a 404 page.

Okay, I see the 'Canned Responses' menu now in 'Compose Mail' but it would be nice to give a 'how to make a canned response' link in the filter creation flow.

Got it working now. Now I just wish the CR didn't expose my actual gmail address, letting me pick from my 'send-from' addresses.

This is awesome, I have been wanting this for a long time, especially the autoresponses, I was using Texter but it never worked right. You gotta love Gmail!

@kevin: Good feedback -- I sent it to Chad. Re: 404, that's just the normal rollout process for labs :)
