Well I can agree with that - I don't think you should be sending
autoreplies to messages which are not strictly sent to that recipient...

or to put it another way autoreplies should not be sent for messages
where the filter "personal" condition would not fire.

For example they should not be sent in response to list mail - and those
doing so on this list find they are off the list rather quickly :-/

I've written notes on good autoreply habits in the past - in the
archives somewhere - for example...

although you will see discussions (or flame wars) on the subject within
that thread.
