Five and a half hours after query letter to submit 'Form Letter' of rejection and so rude to simply address it as 'Dear Author'. If someone has taken the time to investigate your agency, followed the strict submission guidelines by pasting in the body of the email: author bio, synopsis and first 50 pages, then at least have the courtesy and address it in the manner it should be addressed when you have been given a name.

That was a form letter, by the way. I got the same one.

Probably an assistant or this time of year, possibly an intern.

I got a rejection, but it was from someone named Frances Kennedy. Hmm, I wonder if Doe Coover doesn't answer her e-mails anymore, or she simply asked a co-worker to formulate the response to me.

I'm 0-5 with this one. One of the Six Toughest Sells on this website.

Agents often get upwards of 300 queries a week, even the smaller ones. That's why some keep low profiles and don't even have webpages. Any response is a good thing at this point.
