Use a combination of rules. I have 3 for this and they seem to work OK,
though not perfectly:
1) Use the rule for a message "which is an out of office message".
2) Another rule with:
"auto reply" or "d'absence du bureau" in the subject
3) Another rule with:
"out of office" or "out of the office" in the subject or body
For all of these, Move the mail to a new Out of Office folder, and Stop
processing more rules. If you are using Exchange then maybe flag the
message with a Category like Out1, Out2, Out3 so that clients can filter on
that.
You do not want to delete these messages because, as we see with this very
thread which contains in non-automated post trigger text, you _will_ get
false hits.
