Not possible with Sieve. You can only leave out the subject completely which would auto-generate a subject line constructed from the original message. that's not correct. It is possible to store the old Subject with the "variables" extension and add it later to the auto-reply subject line. Interesting, I didn't know this use-case yet. [Show Quoted Text - 18 lines][Hide Quoted Text] -----snip----- require ["variables", "vacation"] ; # store old subject to variable "old_subject" if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "old_subject" ": ${1}"; } vacation :days 7 :subject "Out of office - ${old_subject}" "I am out of office until ........."; -----snip----- This will create a subject for the auto-reply: "Out of office - I am the old subject" That's one very specialized construct for supporting a single feature, not supported by any other of Ingo's filter backends, and requiring knowledge of internal Sieve (variables) syntax, though. This is more a hack than a general approach to this problem.

Allow to create a response like: Re: Invitation for meeting ... (Out of office) which allows the receiver to recognize the original mail which triggered the vacation response.
