What does "title" mean in the context of email?

You can create another template and use that. Or modify your existing template. But I don't know what part of your message you would call its "title". Maybe its Subject?

English is not my native language.

Yes, of course I mean subject.

How can I change it?

I think you are stuck with the convention in email that you quote back the original subject in a reply.

I think you'll see that it replies saying

auto:

then the subject line of the template

then "(was…)" where it quotes the subject of the incoming message that triggered the auto-reply.

I don't know for sure how you can change any of this.

A possibility…

The FiltaQuilla extension lets you run javascript as a filtering action, and perhaps this could give you a way to re-write the subject line.

It would be very nice if autoresponder could write something like that:

First e-mail: "any subject", and respond "RE: any subject", without any kind of quoting...

do not give your template you are responding with a title/subject. Makes it hard to find in the list of templates, but I think it will side step the WAS.

I tried it with an empty subject line in the template and yes, I agree, you wouldn't want more than one these!

I used "please reply" in the subject as a trigger for the autoreply, and it replied with this:

Auto: (was: please reply)

…so no, it didn't skip anything in a useful way.

It's not fine to hear it:(

Ok I will stop guessing and do the research.

Double bracket the subject in the template as Auto reply to web form this should see the reply go as Auto: and the original email subject.

The inclusion of the Auto: is actually a requirement of the RFC to prevent automated responses just replying to one another ad infinitum. There are also some email headers involved, but that is not relevant here..

Bug 904458 implemented the double bracket option in Thunderbird 45.

Damn this forum and it's parsing of text. That should be as follows, but you need to remove the spaces from between the [ [ for use in Thunderbird

Double bracket the subject in the template as [ [Auto reply to web form] ] this should see the reply go as Auto: and the original email subject.

I like these challenges.

[[double brackets]] (using an empty bold font declaration)

[[double brackets]] (using [)

Well it works in the preview....

Good find, Matt!

My English is rather rusty. Could you be so kind and give some example? Please :)

Put the two square brackets around the subject in your template. Then what is written in there (plus "Auto:") will NOT appear in the auto-reply subject line.

So if in the template the subject is:

[[Thank you for your query]]

in the autoreply message it will say

Auto: and then the original message's Subject text.

We should have the "Auto:" there as it is recommended by the RFC email standards and it helps to stop one auto-reply replying back to another, potentially creating an infinite loop of autoreplies.

Filling in the subject line in the template helps us choose which template to use, even though this text won't get put into the reply.

Apologies: I have mis-read, typed, re-read, edited so the email notification of my first posting will say something quite wrong.

Still I have:

Auto: Thank you for your query (was: subject)

I mean with two square brackets around the subject
