Out of Office Subject Line

[CLMooreJr]

Hey all...I have a client that is using Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010 with the OOO set up. They do want to use the internal and external OOO assistant, but on the EXTERNAL ones, they do NOT want the subject line to read "Out Of Office"...which is does so by default.

Since they only want this for external ones, is there a way in Exchange to change the subject line? Again, they cant use a rule since they only want people who send them emails from outside the Organization to see "Currently unavailable" while the Internal people still receive "Out Of Office"...

I've checked technet and all other microsoft forums and it seems to be a hardcoded message that cant be changed, I just want to make sure.

Thanks all!

No way to change it that I have ever seen.

I would try to use a Transport rule as follows:

Apply rule to messages from users that are "Inside the organization"
and sent to users that are "Outside the organization"
and when the Subject field contains "Out of Office"
set "Subject" with "Currently Unavailable".

See how that works.
