As I understand this means messages with the auto-submitted field just 
get lost. Is this always desirable? I could think of situations you want 
to know a message dit not reach the customer/client. So thats why I 
would not ignore the message, but just send no reply at the message to 
avoid an endless loop.

ps. You said (http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=3398) I had to re-read 
the coding standard. You mean any specific part I did wrong? cuz I 
didn't had the idea it was off standards.
