While the category email-in support is maturing, are there plans for a feature where the user would get a reply from discourse when they email to a category incoming email address?

this would make it possible for the user to add extra information to the private thread, since they now have an address they can reply to, and it would give some sense of “this email didn’t go into a black hole”.

I couldn’t find anything like this on the [private support portal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-as-a-private-email-support-portal/34444) page in regard to this but this would finish up the feature quite nicely
