*you can restrict the reply to only once a day per sender, by adding :days 1 under :vacation
* You can edit the subject line and the HTML to your liking, if you add any quotes (") in the HTML then you will need to escape it by using: \" - adding images is probably going to be problematic, don't bother trying! Inline css will probably be ok.
*This WON'T include any signature, but you can add what ever HTML you like.
 
=Editing this in Roundcube=
Roundcube has a 'wizard' or semi-WYSIWYG editor, that allows you to create filters using a form. However, for this example it won't understand all the syntax so you can't use this editor, you have to edit the sieve script by hand, Roundcube lets you do this though.
 
# In Roundcube, go to Settings, Filters.
# You may already have a 'Filter set' called roundcube, that's fine.
 
You# canAt createthe abottom filterof ifthe you'vefilter not gotset' onecollumn, but then you need to edit it manually - you click the cog at the bottomicon, and clickthen 'editEdit filter set'
# You can paste in the script above.
 
# Clicking save should say that it's updated, if you get errors, then the syntax you have won't be correct, but the example above works.

If you later edit the filter with Roundcube be sure to use the 'edit filter set' link as otherwise the code will get altered and not work.
