[rt-users] rt 3.8.2 / mail loop by out-of-office reply

[Ruslan Zakirov]

Shot the user with a shotgun :)

I think "out of office" reply creates a new ticket each time cuz
subject has no ticket number. May be it's possible lower number of
loops with some set of conditions on "Autoreply to requestors on
create" scrip, for exampl:

* matches I'm out of the office
* "small" text
* has reference to a mail, but subject is different
* ....

It's not a silver bullet, but may help in many cases.
