It's not a great idea to set this up in Thunderbird because it's an email client and therefore it only functions while your computer is running. You don't want to leave your computer on all the time you are away, do you? A better approach therefore is to set up the auto-reply with your email provider via their website. Many providers offer this facility these days.
