Hi we are a support firm, and have just begun looking at request tracker
as a way of tracking the progress of our support calls. We have created
a default queue called support of which all our support email enters rt
so that we can monitor their progress.
The problem we are finding is that when we receive a support email and
it enters rt as a new ticket, when we reply to the sender through the rt
interface the header of the email back to the sender is of the form:-
What we would like to do is have the email coming back with the From tag
as:-
postmaster@brown; on behalf of on behalf of My Name via RT
[support@ourdomain.com].
This would be more informative to our clients on who has actually
handled the support issue. We have seen this style of header from other
firms. However do not know how to set this up.

Good choice. Please also turn off HTML when mailing a list. And double
postings are discouraged.
The problem we are finding is that when we receive a support email and
it enters rt as a new ticket, when we reply to the sender through the rt
interface the header of the email back to the sender is of the form:-
Set the $UseFriendlyFromLine variable in RT_SiteConfig.pm.
I have copied the variable across from C:\Program
Files\OurInternet\Request Tracker\rt\etc\RT_Config.pm.in into
RT_SiteConfig.pm and set the values of UsefriendlyFromLine to both 0 and
1, but see no difference in the format. Do you need to reinstall rt, or
should I see the changes immediately when I add this line to
RT_SiteConfig.pm.
Also shouldn’t Usefriendlyfromline default to 1 anyway when installed?
In which case, is the reason I am having these problems the result of me
using version 3.0.12 instead of an earlier version?

You must restart http server to see changes.
Thanks Niel. I gave it a try and have found that when I change the
$UseFriendlyFromLine variable and restart the server I end up having the
from tag:- ‘support@xxx.com’ with no other information. The
$FriendlyFromLineFormat is also added to the file however the format
does not seem to be being applied.
Any ideas why this format is not being applied?From: Ruslan U. Zakirov [mailto:Ruslan.Zakirov@acronis.com]
