Maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough, but I couldn’t
find anything in the documentation about how to
resolve requests via e-mail. One of my co-workers
hates having to go to the web interface and would
prefer being able to resolve requests at the same
time as replying to the requestor.

You place these commands in the message body and mail to rt-action
RT will process them in the order of the list.

%RT RESOLVE
or
%RT RESOLVE 1233
in the message body should work
…probably there will be problems with authentication, try this:
%RT USER username
%RT PASS password
This can (almost 
safely be placed into the correspondance, it will be
removed before it gets sent. Alternatively, send to a special action
address.

Doesn’t actually work in practice when attached to correspondence. Or,
more correctly, it works… then the message text is processed as
correspondence, which immediately re-opens the request. “oops”

I just tried sending a take command to our queue’s action
action e-mail address and got back two e-mails. The first
says there was an error, but doesn’t say what the error was,
while the second seems to indicate that the take succeeded.
When I check the queue with the web interface, it does show
the take succeeded. So why did I get an e-mail saying there
was an error? Any ideas what the problem might be? Copies
of the two e-mails follow.
Thanks.

Do you need to add these tokens to each mail message to authenticate
yourself? Does the password get sent to a user of you reply and perform
an action? I played with this a little while ago and it seemed my
password got saved in the transaction history.
