It *is* a pat response, it's one of the things I find I have to send
often enough that I've got a canned response for it - I find that if I
don't do things like that then after a while what gets sent becomes so
brief that unless you're really familiar with what's being said it can
be hard to understand the feedback.  It's tricky though because as you
say it's fairly obvious it's a form letter.
