A few possibilities...

First, the (relatively) easier one: Say, "Thank you." Then stop.

Now, a more difficult one: Your reaction comes not only from what they said, but from a connection between what they said and something in you. The responses you mention comment almost entirely on what they said, and add little of you to the conversation.

So: Take a moment to consider what it is in you that their words connected with. What need or aspiration or desire or fear or yearning or ...?

Once you've discovered what you are contributing to your response, consider expressing that, and how the writer's words and ideas touch that part of you.
