this is the culprit: you want something like

subject = "VACATION-RE: ${escape:${length_50:$header_subject:}}"

Also, be sure that the ${home} variable is set; if not, you'll
end up with errors "/.vacation.msg file does not exist".

is the colon here not mandatory? ie $h_from: ? According to
the spec docs, it is.
