The early Sieve drafts, in fact, had a reply command, but it was killed 
over an objection from John Myers, who was worried about giving users a 
way of sending replies without some limitations.
This type of automatic reply leads to sorcerer's apprentice problems. 
Of course, it's also really useful.
But that's why it's not there.
