We have just started using RT and are quite pleased with our initial
impressions. But there is one thing I really wish it would do and am
hoping there is a configuration tweak I can make
There is an open ticket
We use the “Reply” link/button to get information back from the user
The user replies to the email message (properly keeping the subject
line in-tact
→ is there anyway for RT to indicate that there is “new information”
in the ticket that we need to look at?

When I reply to the ‘requestor’ I mark the ticket status as “Stalled” unless
there’s more I need to do before they get back to me with more information.
When they reply it will automatically be marked with a status of “Open”
again (as per a global Scrip).
Appart from that you can modify the ticket list to include the ‘last updated
time’ and ‘last updated by’ fields and even sort by the time field so you
can see the oldest first or something.

You can have RT forward the email from the end user to the ticket
owner, or in the UI you could use LastUpdated/LastUpdateBy or
UpdateStatus on your saved search.

Yes, there is. I have a Callback for
Elements/RT__Ticket/ColumnMap/ColumnMap which tags a ‘New Reply’ to a
ticket in my homepage elements. I got it from the wiki and think it is
related or belongs to the entry about colouring the status/priority.
