Google Labs has come out with yet another new feature in GMail called Canned Responses. As reported in the Official Google Blog, you can now save a reply as a canned response, and can choose this response as a reply to the future e-mails you will be getting.

So, here is how to create Canned Responses,

Click on Settings on upper right hand corner of your account page.
Select Labs tab and scroll down to Canned Responses and select Enable.

The next time you reply to a message, look for Canned response option in blue in your email
To map the Canned Response you just created to the auto reply feature, go to Gmail settings and select Filters and then select Create New Filter.

You will now see an option to “Send a Canned response”. Here is where you can select an individual reply to a specific sender.

Note that you can also create filters to reply based on keywords instead of senders name.
