Same here.

I'm not sure we need that. There's an expectation that vacation messages
have a [vac] prefix in the subject, which is mostly followed (although
sometimes people do forget it). That makes it fairly easy to filter them
out for those who're not interested in them.
Personally, I've filtered them into a separate folder for years. While
there are occasional false negatives, I can't remember the last time I
had a false positive -- if that's ever occurred, which I'm not sure of.
I think the current rules are fine.

Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy
requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once,
add a voucher, and save on postage.
