I observed that, too. I checked the latest CVS code. The generated  
.procmailrc still gives vacation messages like this:

Ich bin zur Zeit nicht im B=C3=BCro zu erreichen. E-Mails werden  
weitergelei=\ntet.\n\nViele Gr=C3=BC=C3=9Fe\n\nVolker Then

There seems to be a problem with the character encoding, too.

Bye

Volker
