Set up an autoreply for the UR message notification mails
Every so often, we still encounter people who send a reply mail to the UR message notification mails. Sometimes Wazers do this when they're unable to respond in any other way, but usually they just do this out of habit. The mail address itself clearly indicates it shouldn't be used to get a reply (no-reply@waze.com), but in many mail clients mostly the name ("Waze Map Editor") gets shown.
I'd like to therefore propose the addition of an autoreply mail whenever someone sends a message to the no-reply@waze.com inbox. I know it's ironic to send replies from a mailbox that says "no-reply", but I think it's a better user experience than the current situation.
I'm aware of the communication improvements being planned between the app and WME, but I don't think this should wait for that improvement. Autoreply mails are a feature in pretty much any mailing system.
Using generic no-reply mailboxes is a bad user experience from the start, but at least I think we can make it somewhat less awful. A relevant discussion that I generally agree with: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/119404/autoreply-on-noreply-address

Another option is for Waze to very clearly state, in the email, not to reply to the email. Because Waze doesn't do this, I do this as an editor, but it just makes my request for info, such as destination, even longer and less likely to be read.
