An obvious one is to see wether your human owner is mentioned in the To: field. Unless the list explodes the messages in one explicit copy per recipient, this is enough.

Of course, that doesn't work with a list that doesn't set reply-to the list. A lot of followups on nanog are reply-all, cc'd to the OP and anybody else who posted to a thread.
Why would you enable O-o-O autoreplies if you're actively participating in a thread on a mailing list? (Stepping over the obvious question - why would you enable them in the first place, knowing that it annoys the hell out of a lot of people) -- Niels.
