I got the same email (though it went to my spam folder, so check there if you didn't get one). Hopefully it's just an outdated system message, and queries aren't automatically deleted. It does say she's open on the agency website.

Update 7/12 - Kind and quick rejection. Always appreciate a response.

Originally sent query on 7.2.24. Did not receive acknowledgement of receipt.
After reading Jenny's message, I decided to resend in case it got lost in the confusion.
Resubmitted 7.7.24.
7.7.24: Received acknowledgement stating she normally will review within 4 weeks.
Fingers crossed.

Queried via email: 6/28
Got same auto response as others, saying queries will be deleted unread. But her website has definitely been updated to say that she's open, so I'm crossing my fingers it went through!
Confirmation of receipt: 7/2/2
Form rejection: 7/11/24
