Hmmm.... the more I think about this the less it looks like a workable
idea.

Sure, an autoresponder will have a repliable From: address, otherwise it
stands to reason that the person doesn't want to communicate with you,
but there's no guarantee that the reply will come from the same address.

Company autoresponders may come from a generic address, and even TMDA
confirmation messages come from a confirm address (which looks a good
bit different than a bare address if you're using dated from or reply-to
addresses.)

Nevermind. I'll post again sometime if I get a better idea. Thanks.
