What it does:
Answering Machine stores your tells while you are AFK or DND and plays them back to you when you return.
Current version:
2.00 - 2.0 compatible
Fixed a few bugs causing Answring Machine to not record
1.11 - Removed a bug when returning from DND
Added French localization - Thanks Sasmira of Curse-Gaming!
Switching to and from AFK and DND while one or the other is not set to record appears to be working properly now
Known issues:
A bug exists while going AFK in the battlegrounds. Let's just say I'm not going to fix this because I don't condone deserting. The real reason is it's just too much effort to fix for this. If you need to /afk out of BGs just make sure you flag /afk again when you zone out.
Support for german is implemented, but translations are needed

Installation instructions:
Extract to your World of Warcraft directory
/answer frame ( on | off ) toggles the frame
/answer afk ( on | off ) toggles recording while afk
/answer dnd ( on | off ) toggles recording while dnd
Example:
You want to farm things until you pass out
/answer msg I passed out
when you're AFK flags comes on due to idling, it will use that message. your default /afk will also display that
the default away message is restored next time you log into the game
I love this addon too! Especially the message frame with x missed tells.
And that's why I'm posting...my frame has gone missing. I'm not sure when it happened, but I've tried toggling it off/on and it doesn't come back when I /afk. Maybe add a reset flag to position it in the center of the screen or something?
Currently, it can't be toggled except through AFK. It will look a little odd running instances with your AFK flag up the entire time. Perhaps I'll add the ability to start/stop recording without being AFK as well.
WOW, This is a REALLY nice addon! I wish Blizz could store /tells that has been sent while offline too. This one is really nice, cuz I tend to miss alot of /tells in instances etc.
