Hello,
When a ticket is resolved and the user receives an email notification
stating that their ticket was resolved the user will often send a reply
either saying “thanks” or something to that effect which adds it as a
correspondence to the ticket (good) but also sets the ticket from
resolved back to 'open (not good, extra work for us to go close the
ticket again since it wasn’t the users intention to open the issue back
up with their reply.) Any ideas for a solution to this?

I found 2 methods :
Both methods together works best of course.
I know this probably isn’t the answer you were looking for, but imagine
you would ignore replies to a ticket after it is closed (or create a new
one) you would have much more problems cleaning up that mess in contrast
to just closing the ticket again this time.
You could however maybe adjust some templates and use a CustomValue
field (which you set manually) to indicate that there will be no
Resolved mail sent to the user (after “thanks”-reply) to avoid having a
user loop like :
thanks → resolved → i thought it was already solved ? → resolved →
why do you keep resolving → resolved → stop it !
(Thrust me I’ve had this with one client at a time… )
So using CustomValue you’d have something like this :
thanks → set CustomValue ID10T → resolve (silent - no mail)

we here use our silently_resolve.patch in
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~pape/rt3/patches/rt/ (available for 3.0 to
3.6), to enable a new status selectable by staff to resolve a ticket after
“thank you” without notifying anyone.

Same thing different approach, personally I don’t really like putting in
patches for things that can be handled by the system mechanics itself.
(Also I’m running 3.6.0 myself and can’t be bothered to adjust the patch 
This solution may perhaps suit you better Matt. We’re all here to help

A third solution could be found here :
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?OnResolveOnce
If you where to change the default scrip where it says in the condition
OnResolve, replace it with OnResolveOnce like described in the link.
