[Alex Vandiver]

I’m Alex Vandiver, one of Jesse’s minions. I just finished
reworking the threading support a bit, and it seems to pass all of
your tests[1], and a few of mine as well, such as responding via the
web UI to an email ticket. I’ve attached a tarball – please test
it out and let me know how it works for you.

Great. Thank you. Vacation times have delayed the testing of this
patch, and I am still waiting for the main admin of our RT
installation to return from vacation and conferences so I have not
been able to test it yet. He will return next week, and I hope to
have time to test it then.

A new test has been suggested, based on feedback from users of the
previous patch. The “ticket resolved” email in that version did not
include thread information. Did you change this? I believe it should
be “attached” to the last message in the ticket, or the first one if
the latter is very hard.

[1] With the exception of test #2, which I think we have all
resolved to disagree on. :slight_smile:

Yeah. Thought it would be great if it was a configuration option to
enable this.

  • Applied Ruslan Zakirov’s ext-mailgate patch, which allows you to take or
    resolve tickets by e-mail.

The new version broke our own e-mail support. Is Ruslan’s e-mail support
the reason why? Is this e-mail support documented somehow? Please have a
look at http://www.usit.uio.no/it/rt/modifications.html, email
administration of RT tickets.

Will BP include new patches/functionality if we pay them to do so? New
versions will sooner or later always break our own improvements.
