No ticket content in replies

hi @all,

digging through the archives didn’t help. maybe somebody out there can.

my problem :
i’ ve got several email-generated tickets containing attachments (mostly
screenshots < 200kb). if i reply to one of those tickets via the webui, the
original ticket-text is not quoted. the “Update ticket” screen just repeats
the requestor email and issue date and a single ‘>’ without any ticket-text
(see below).

[dont_need_to_know@subshell.com - Thu Jul 18 18:36:29 2002]:

this (to may knowledge) only occurs, if the ticket contains any kind of
attachment.
anybody expirienced the same ?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

my config :
RT 2.0.13
MySQL 3.23.4

Have you read the FAQ? The RT FAQ Manager lives at http://fsck.com/rtfm

I know this problem from netscape users forwarding mails inline anf having
vCards attached.
Most of the time, the real mail content (the forwarded message) is available as
an ‘attachment’.
Forwarded emails with attachments in them are not shown at all in some cases -
I haven’t checked that users’ mua configuration yet.

------------example 2--------------------------------->

the content IS NOT quoted if i reply.
this is a kind of annoying ‘feature’, because 1/3 of our tickets are written
like the above and i fear that i won’t make our customers change their
email_sending_habbits.
so, will we end up with coppy+paste ticket-content from the webui history
into our replies (guess staff gonna like that :-()
or does anybody have an idea howto_get_around_this™ ?
