I think that recipe is borked:
* it will send the "reply" to the *recipient* of the message, most
  probably yourself
* it will send the "reply" to any other person mentioned in Cc etc.
  headers. This is evil.
* it produces a full quote
* you should check for Precedence headers

Can't you just use "vacation", or did the "autoreply" mislead me
completely about the purpose of the recipe?
