Or drop the message entirely. Or kick your MUA vendor hard
for sending broken OOO replies. (Not that that's likely to
help much, but it feels gratifying...)

Abusing the loop prevention header for this would probably
work, but it's really not how it's supposed to work. :-)

A better (?) "fix" might be to educate
RT::Interface::Email::CheckForAutoGenerated() to check
the Subject header.
