We should look into:

1) adding headers to our notification emails to prevent (well-behaved) 
auto-responders from replying

2) check headers that auto-responders add, and not post to 
tickets/discussions/etc.  If there are popular autoresponse systems that don't 
set a relevant header, and body text needs to be analyzed, we can consider that 
for a second iteration on this.

Will require some research on what standards exist and how popular systems 
(e.g. gmail, exchange, etc) handle autoresponses.
