Cross posting from [1] now that this has a dedicated thread: I like the proposal, but rather than using special (unfriendly) subjects, I'd use custom email headers. eg: X-Autorespond: name, age, location Why?

This also means that the body can be free-formed text explaining to the user what this message represents, and how to support this protocol.
