Thanks for your response, Jason.  I can appreciate this stance, and I 
understand why TMDA works the way it does.

Unfortunately in my case, I get numerous emails from users who are using 
Reply-To and stupidly not reading (or receiving) email at the envelope-sender 
address.  I don't want to have to sift through my pending folder to find this 
"lost" mail, and so changing TMDA to adapt to my personal need was the only 
solution I can think of.  I went ahead and made the changes myself, it was 
not very difficult.

The draft on auto-email-response is interesting, but the scenarios it mentions 
in Section 4 about why not to respond to Reply-To don't happen in my daily 
email routine.  I don't consider my solution right, but rather "practical".
