That sounds like a fantastic reply!
Especially since I just received the boilerplate:
"We received your manuscript (#111111, "Name of Story") on June 6, 2013. We are currently responding to submissions sent to us in June, so you should be hearing back from us very soon. If you do not, please feel free to query again. In the meantime, you can check the submissions system for your story's status by searching its title, tracking number, or email address.
We thank you for your patience.
Best,
The Editors"
I'm hoping that different interns responded to ours. Otherwise, I'm losing hope.
