This is how a great auto-response message looks like 17 years ago
Wow - as the guy who wrote that email, i'm honored by the praise on this thread!
In the case of this autoresponder- the people who get this actually were trying to send a message to a friend. So, we really wanted to handle this with care and make sure folks knew we anticipated what they were trying to do.
