Overview
After configuring your mailbox, you can optionally enable automatic replies for new incoming emails using automatic reply templates, keeping in mind the automatic reply rules to know when replies will not be sent.

Configure the Automatic Reply Template
Automatic replies are plain-text, and you can include the following variables in the message or subject line. The placeholder will be substituted with the appropriate value when the message is sent:
{case}- The case ID number.{sender}- The sender's email address.{subject}- The subject of the incoming message.{ticket}- The external customer reference number to this case; includes a random password for security.{url}- The URL of the FogBugz install.{ticketurl}- A link the customer can use to check the status of their case.{fullname}- The full name associated with this mailbox.{email}- The email address associated with this mailbox.
Your automatic reply's subject must always include the placeholder: (Case {case}), to ensure that a customer's reply will be appended to the same case instead of opening a new one.
FogBugz will not automatically reply to subsequent emails on a case, as the correspondent has already received confirmation of this particular case reaching the system.
