Indeed, that was exactly the assumption behind my point. Most
autoreply mechanism *reply* to the message (possibly, but not
necessarily, copying some headers and parts of body into the
reply message), and not forward (bounce) the message back
(possibly with some headers added).
And this is a normal behavior, IMO. Consider vacation
mechanisms, which should not send back anything from the original
message except possibly date and subject.
