But you shouldn't do this (send replies), for multiple reasons. First, 
at a strategic level, anything that generates still *more* mail traffic 
when we already have way too much seems like a bad idea. (This is one 
of many problems with C/R and SAV s well.) And at a tactical level, 
what would be the point? There's no way to know that such a reply will 
ever be seen by the end user whose system has been zombied, and even if 
they *do* see it, it's very unlikely they'll understand it, believe it, 
and take effective action.
