The problem is, IIRC one is not allowed to use Umlauts in Mailheaders.
At least, there's now way to specify a charset for Header Strings,
besides the "floating style" you mentioned.
For ease, you may want to use rfc2047 encoding within your autoreply
transport, like:
subject = ${if def:h_Subject: \
{Autoreply: ${rfc2047:${length_50:$header_subject:}}} \
{automatic reply}}
Now MUAs should show the Umlauts correctly.
${rfc2047} is documented here:
