Auto-Reply for all messages without subject

This rule will be useful if you receive a lot of messages (for example, reports) from your colleagues and use rules to copy or move correspondence to the specific folders (like Rule to copy all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder or Rule to move all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder). Unfortunately those rules wouldn't work for messages with empty subject, but you still can create a rule to send an Auto-Reply if the message don't have a subject.
