This seems to be a BSD vs Linux thing.  My Linux man pages shows:

        For example, the message created by vacation is:
               Subject: away from my mail
               From:  smith (via the vacation program)
               I will not be reading my mail for a while. Your
               mail regarding "$SUBJECT" will be
               read when I return.

while my OpenBSD man page shows:

            From: eric at CS.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Allman)
            Subject: I am on vacation
            Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: The Vacation program
            Precedence: bulk

            I am on vacation until July 22.
            If you have something urgent,
            please contact Keith Bostic <bostic at CS.Berkeley.EDU>.
            --eric

So obviously the two are documented differently.

I'll try to look into it...
