NAME

RT::Interface::Email::Filter::CheckMessageId - Find related ticket from references mail header

DESCRIPTION

This extension check if received mail correspond to an already existing ticket according In-Reply-To and References header tag.

If a ticket (and only one) is found the mail subject is altered to include the [... #n] mark, so RT will push the mail as mail comment instead creating a new ticket.

This is usefull with this scenario: Requestor send a mail to RT system and a Friend. The Friend think he can help, so reply to all without the subject properly tagged, then RT create a new ticket.

With This extension, RT will find the In-Reply-To header tag match with the ticket's attachement and then the Friend's mail will be added as comment.
