Since Upgrade to 3.8.8 reply to resolved does not reopen ticket...help please

Hello RT Users, I need some suggestions…

We recently upgraded our RT from 3.8.0 to 3.8.8, when we did this, the function
that re-opens a resolved ticket upon a reply has stopped working. It used to be
that when we would resolve a ticket, if the original requester replied to the
"resolved" email, either with a “thanks” or “but it still dosen’t work” or
whatever, the ticket would reopen automatically. Now, the requesters email reply
is still entered into the ticket history, but the ticket remains resolved. Any
idea why this might have happened? I know many people would see this as a "plus"
but I actually need this function.

Thank You,

Eric,

Did you write a scrip for this and now it isn’t working?

Eric,

I could easily be wrong on this (has happened many times before), but I
seem to remember a lot of complaints about tickets re-opening a “resolved”
ticket when correspondence happened to it from the old 3.4.x days. I
thought that was reversed in 3.6.x due to that. Maybe someone else
remembers if there was a change put in due to those complaints.

No, RT ships with
On Correspond Open Tickets
It sounds like that scrip has either been disabled by the end user or
it is throwing an error, but we haven’t seen any of the relevant logs.
