Yes, many :) The most important reason is that the subject line must
adhere to certain externally imposed requirements, and an OTRS id is not
included in that. This morning, I have however heard back from somebody
else, who wrote:

--- begin quote ---
OTRS recognizes that a new message belongs to an allready existing
ticket 
by

- researching the subject of the message for the ticket number,
- researching the message references
- researching the body of the message for a ticket number
- researching plain text attachments for a ticket number and
- researching the raw message for a ticket number.

In OTRS 2.1.3 the following config params are responsible for the
behaviour 
for follow ups:

    $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInReferences'} =  '1';
    $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInBody'} =  '1';
    $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInAttachment'} =  '1';
    $Self->{'PostmasterFollowUpSearchInRaw'} =  '1';
--- end quote ---

While this requires OTRS 2.1 and we have been using 2.0 so far, this is
promising. It also gives me a reason to upgrade :-)
