Description

The autorespond feature was reverted due to it increasing the size of the settings panel interactive post past the limit that post.Props allows. The task here is to adjust the settings panel to accommodate for this restriction, and allow the autorespond feature to have its settings in the settings panel post.

PR that reverts the feature: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-mscalendar/pull/226

Also something that has come up in discussion is that the autorespond needs to make sure it's not going to respond to itself. This may happen when two users are both in a meeting and one sends the other a DM.

If we see that a user in a meeting is DM'd, and the DM is made by the bot, we should ignore the DM and not respond.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the settings panel to understand the prop limit, then devise a way to include autorespond settings within that limit. Also, ensure the bot does not respond to its own messages by checking if the DM sender is the bot.
