Right. Which is just wrong. When picking between "possibly get caught in
users' overzealous mail filters" and "get into mail loops with other
autoresponders", we chose the former. (We chose the default before
people really had spam filters, actually ;)   Precedence: bulk is the
closest we have to an internet standard for "I've been sent by a
machine. Machines should not autoreply to me."
