fix(vacation): a resposta de ausencia passa a ser uma resposta

Chegava como conversa nova. Ia sem qualquer cabecalho de encadeamento,
por isso todos os clientes de correio a mostravam solta, sem relacao
com a mensagem que a tinha desencadeado - e quem escreveu tinha de
descobrir sozinho a qual dos seus emails aquilo respondia.

In-Reply-To nomeia a mensagem que esta a ser respondida e References
leva a cadeia inteira, que e o que permite a um cliente colocar a
resposta no sitio certo mesmo quando nunca viu as mensagens pelo meio
(RFC 5322 seccao 3.6.4). A cadeia e limitada em comprimento: uma
conversa longa faria este cabecalho crescer sem fim.

O assunto passa a ecoar o original - "Fora do escritorio: Re: Proposta
comercial" - porque e o que a pessoa le na sua lista, e porque ha
clientes que agrupam pelo assunto e nao apenas pelos cabecalhos. O
texto configurado fica como prefixo em vez de ser substituido, para
continuar a dizer o que a mensagem e. Um assunto que ja anuncia ser
resposta nao recebe um segundo "Re:".

Sem Message-ID no original nao se escreve nada: apontar para uma
mensagem inexistente faria os clientes mostrarem a resposta agarrada a
nada. Um Message-ID com quebra de linha e recusado por inteiro - viria
de um remetente remoto, e uma quebra ali terminaria o cabecalho e
deixaria o resto ser lido como mais cabecalhos.

Os cabecalhos que impedem dois respondedores automaticos de se
responderem um ao outro continuam todos la, com teste que o garante.
