It would appear that replying to a request via email with an
attachment results in the attachment being stored in RT but not
being sent to the requestor.
Can anyone suggest a reason? Is there any way to ensure that
attachments get forwarded to the requestor (and possibly CCs)?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes; basically, this is what happens by default.

In the contrib section, there’s a NotifyWithAttachment scrip.

man who smokes 4 packs a day on life support because he’s the last person
on Earth who knows how to do the cha-cha, but he won’t tell anyone.”

IMHO, this is the biggest POLA violation in RT. There is a scrip in
the contrib area that does the right thing. I personally think that
should be the default…

You need to install the NotifyWithAttachment add-on available
in the contrib directory. Then, you need to change the
On Correspond… scrip to use this new action instead
of NotifyAllWatchers.

Augh, no! Our support and bugs queues regularly get mailed 15-20MB
logfiles, and there’s no way I want a dozen copies of those sitting in
my mail queue when they get mailed to the watchers.
What would be nice is a way to say “Send this particular attachment
along” – maybe only when it comes from the Owner of a ticket.
