1) Your user status will change to the short message when your absence starts and reset when it ends.
2) And event with status *busy* will be created in your personal calendar. This allows others to see that you are not available when they use the free/busy feature.
3) If enabled, the Mail app will apply an autoresponder.

Can you elaborate that the short message will be the subject and the long message the mail body here? (IIRC from the email I have received)

That is something I wanted to clarify, hence the vague documentation. I'm not sure if short message should even be used as subject.

If we're gonna change that in a followup then I'll retract my change request :)

This is still a bit vague. We only use the long message as the body after nextcloud/mail#9228.

4) The Talk app will show the out-of-office message to others when they try to reach you in a 1:1 chat during your absence.

Same here, the long message will be shown as the text IIRC

.. versionadded:: 3.5 Autoresponder can follow system settings.

The autoresponder is off by default. It can be set manually, or follow the system settings. Following system settings means that information entered on the :ref:`Absence settings section <groupware-absence>` is applied automatically.

Only the long message is used and the subject is built from the old one. That should be mentioned here.
