This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit AS-I-238 Auto unsuspend calls when replied to.
We email customers when they are unreacheable and then suspend the call - if the customer replies to our email the call gets updated but does not go off suspend. This would improve our response times greatly.
Perfect for business processes.

You'd need a mechanism to cater for Out of office replies being returned.
If you are comfortable doing your own customisations you can do this using the INBOUNDMAILIA2 stored procedure (like we have). This is a snippet from ours that does this:
ELSE IF (@MODE = 'CallUpdate')
BEGIN
-- Unsuspend, if currently suspended
SELECT @SUSPENDED = SUSPENDED FROM CL_CALL_LOGGING WHERE CALL_NUMBER = @ITEM_NO
IF @SUSPENDED = 'Y'
UPDATE CL_CALL_LOGGING SET SUSPEND_TIME = GETDATE() WHERE CALL_NUMBER = @ITEM_NO
