I thought that's probably what you were getting at.

This is fine, but ONLY if you send the message to the correct person, which is
usually NOT <$sender_address>. Alas in most environments you won't know who
to send it to!

Do NOT automatically send messages to <$sender_address>! If you do so, you're
part of the problem. If you send messages to <$sender_address>, it won't
matter how readable you make it - the recipients won't appreciate receiving
unsolicited garbage mail from you.
