That's the whole point of this thread.  How do you identify such messages with 
procmail?

Mailing list messages are easily recognized and procmail has a specific filter 
to help you recognize them.  Out of office messages are not easily 
recognisable.  No common headers to filter on ... if I'd been filtering out 
messages with 'out of office' in the subject I'd have missed the entire 
thread.
