I am using Outlook 2003 (server version). I will like to setup my out of
office message to include the subject of the email I received. For example,
if I receive an email with the subject "Lunch". I want my out of office
reply to be " I am out of the office and I would respond to your inquiry
about "Lunch" when I get back. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.

Not out of the box. I'm sure something could be written to utilize a
regular rule, but then you'd be working with rules, which would affect every
message, as opposed to the OOF which only replies once per day (or once per
oof period, I forget).

However, OOFs do quote the subject line of the message it is being sent in
reply to, so if this isn't about being nice, but is instead about making
sure the sender knows what message its in response to, you wouldn't have to
worry about it. As for being nice, I think most email senders will be smart
enough to understand that an OOF is, generally by definition, a form letter.
