this sounds like an interesting feature... it would be extremely
cool if MM could autorespond to messages containing HTML encoded
email: this way those people can get a response that next time
they time they shouldn't post HTML email, and some short instructions
how to change to plain text. Or am I missing the point of the
autoresponder usage here?

I know there are several people on the develop list right now who's
fingers are itching to contribute to the MM code. Maybe we could make
a list of features we want to implement in 1.2, and then see if anybody
wants to pick up one or more of those features. Personally I really
want to help out too, even though i'm still learning Python and the
way MM is structured, i'd like to expand my knowledge beyond admindb.py :)
