How to enable auto response email to customer from apex trigger

Hi,
I have a existing apex trigger class which avoid duplicates case creation by checking regular expression approach. however this apex trigger is sending communication email to case owner stating the case cannot by created for so and so regex in email subject line...however instead of triggering email to case owner we want the same email to be triiger to customer who originaly sent email with regex in email subject.
below is our current apex trigger:
trigger CheckSubjectRegex on Case (before insert) {

    for (Case c : Trigger.new) {

        if ( c.Subject.substring(0,3)== 'Re:' || c.Subject.substring(0,4)== 'Fwd:' || c.Subject.substring(0,3)== 'RE:'||c.Subject.substring(0,4)== 'ref:' || c.Subject.substring(0,4)== 'FWD:'||c.Subject.substring(0,3)== 'FW:') {

            c.addError('LQ may not be able to create a Case because it may be a Reply or Forward');

        }

    }

}

I think this is possible with SingleEmailMessage method. I am not sure how efficient it is ?

Senders email address is stored in field Web Email so we can use it in ToAddress why replying.
Can you confirm how are you sending the communicaton to case owner ?

Thanks

Hi Brahma,

Thanks for reply.
I am using below trigger: as soon it sees any regex in email subject it will shoot email to case object owner.
