Won't happen.  99 times out of 100 the sender information will be fake,
and even if it's not, it won't be read/processed.

Actually, it can do more than that.  I've seen automatic file-servers
by mail, set up with procmail.  Look in the man page, there should be
something about creating an automatic reply header or something like
that.  I think the example they give is a vacation-type of behaviour.

I personally would write it in perl myself, but procmail may be easier
if you're not proficient in perl, or lack time to write it all in perl.
