  • You can use the ${subject} variable. At each location the ${subject} is at, the original subject of the email message will be inserted. You can place this in the subject or message field.
  • Click Save. The vacation filter should now appear in your list of filters.
  • Make sure the filter is the last one in the list for it to be processed on all messages.
