3.4.4 --> 4.0.4 and subject tag

Right now, with $rtname set to “ATCC” and a test
queue configured to have its own subject tag (“DEMO”),
our autoreply is showing signs of split-personality
disorder:

Is this because, perhaps, our old 3.4.4 template was brought
into RT 4.0.4 when we upgraded, and it uses $rtname and not
something new to reflect the subject tag? If so, what is
that?

You’ll want to review your Templates and compare them to the version
in etc/initialdata. In your case, I bet you have $rtname rather than
$Ticket->SubjectTag but you can find the exact syntax in initialdata
by searching for Autoreply.

This is actually covered in docs/UPGRADING-3.8 in the
UPGRADING FROM 3.7.81 and earlier - Changes:
section with further documentation in docs/UPGRADING-4.0

Yes, that was it. Thank you. My oversight while upgrading.
