Changing From: header to Queue description

#1

Pre 2.0.5p3, someone posted a patch to /opt/rt2/lib/RT/Action/Autoreply.pm
to change the from header to the Queue name.

In my environment, I changed that to use the Queue description (since
management wants a much longer From header than makes sense for a queue
name).

unless ($self->TemplateObj->MIMEObj->head->get(‘From’)) {
my $friendly_name=$self->TransactionObj->CreatorObj->RealName;

my $from_addr=$self->TicketObj->QueueObj->Description();
$self->SetHeader('From', "$from_addr <$replyto>");

}

In 2.0.5, this patch was put in. Can this be a configurable option?

Well, the simple way to deal would be to override it with a From: header
in your templates.On Fri, Aug 17, 2001 at 02:04:01PM -0700, matthew zeier wrote:

the first line of your autoreply template should be

and then you need two carriage returns before the rest of the template.On Fri, Aug 17, 2001 at 03:41:43PM -0700, matthew zeier wrote:
