Hello,

I have a question about the Sieve Vacation module.

Currently, the automatic reply doesn't include the "References" header from the 
original email. It often has an "In-Reply-To" header:

```
Message-ID: <cmu-sieve-392859-1781788754-1@hermes>
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:19:14 +0200
X-Sieve: CMU Sieve 3.0
X-Sieve-Action: vacation
From: <[email protected]>
To: <[email protected]>
Subject: Received/Erhalten: Re: Received/Erhalten: Howdy!
In-Reply-To: <46ce3dd0-2763-4f88-aca2-04ff30254ba4@ 
<mailto:[email protected]>example.xyz>
Auto-Submitted: auto-replied (vacation)
MIME-Version: 1.0
```

The "References" header would be great, so mail clients can better associate 
messages with conversations. Thunderbird, f.ex. does successfully show the 
first reply in the thread, but any further automatic replies are not in the 
thread anymore, because of the missing references.

Would it be possible for the Cyrus Vacation module to properly generate the 
"References" header according to RFC 5322 Section 3.6.4 (e.g., by appending the 
original email's Message-ID to its existing References)?

Are there any reasons why that wouldn't be possible? I read on this thread 
<https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/QDJB3R2DTIIDY3774BJRR64FURIMJ2CO/>,
 that Dovecot (apparently) does it.

I am currently running Cyrus 3.4.3. I couldn't verify if this behavior has 
already been changed in more recent versions up to 3.12. If it has, a quick 
heads-up would be appreciated—otherwise, I would highly appreciate this 
improvement.



Thanks,
Dominik
