Is there a way, given an Outlook email item, to detect whether it was sent by the "Out Of Office Assistant"?
Is there any property that Outlook sets on the object, or any header information, that identifies an email as such? I was hoping not to have to parse the subject line for "Out Of Office", etc.
It would be great if there were some standard, so autoreplies from other email services (like Gmail) could also be detected, but for me Outlook is the highest priority.
There is a header field (http://www.iana.org/assignments/auto-submitted-keywords/auto-submitted-keywords.xhtml) but it seems that MS Outlook does not set it (at least, not Outlook 2003). I guess that you have to parse the subject line.
