Hi Alexandre, Get well soon to your friend.
As Tina said, mutt doesn't do this. Here is a procmail example I have used in the past but not for a long time. Sorry if it is no help. Setting up an out of office, (vacation/ auto-reply). Edit your ~/.procmailrc file, create it first if needed below, update the "$logn...@fqdn.tldr" entrie(s). Create the ~/.vacation.msg as your automatic response to send to users. This should be a plaintext file containing the text of the response you want to send to recipients. taken from http://system.cs.technion.ac.il/Mail_Guides/Configuring%20Vacation%20Mail%20With%20Procmail.htm [DEAD LINK] ### Vaction response, E.g. ~/.procmailrc contentcs :0 Whc: vacation.lock * $^To:.*\<$\LOGNAME\> * !^FROM_DAEMON * !^X-Loop: root@* ## `--> to not reply to root or ops mails, can have multiple `* !^X-Loop:` entries # store sender's address in vacation.cache if not there already. | /usr/bin/formail -rD 8192 $HOME/.vacation.cache :0 ehc | (/usr/bin/formail -rA"Precedence: junk" -A"x-loop: $logn...@fqdn.tldr" ; cat $HOME/.vacation.msg ) | /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t To turn off the vacation response comment out or remove the above from your procmail file.

Hi Alexandre, I do use mutt, but not exclusively/heavily, so I might be wrong, but... I don't think that's a thing mutt can do. Auto-replies are usually set on the server/MTA (i.e. procmail, sedmail, MS Exchange...), not in a mail client? So if it's the sort of mail system that heeds those, that's done in a .forward file or similar. (If we're dealing with Microsoft 365 - it's in your settings.)
