IMHO, this is one of the arguments for structuring queues based on a service 
type, rather than an individual, but... 

If you've structured things with one queue per person, isn't this what you WANT 
to happen (the original person maintains the overall responsibility for the 
ticket, and the other person is acting on their behalf)? You want the responses 
to go back to the original owner so they get the info on actions taken on their 
behalf. 

If not, then have the stand-in person (Amanda) move the ticket to her own 
queue, update/work it, and transfer it back to Elizabeth when she has returned. 
That way there is an explicit chain of custody/responsibility, and it's clear 
that Amanda is the responsible person while Elizabeth is out. The end customer 
will have to deal with the change in email address for issue correspondence 
while Amanda is in charge of Elizabeth's stuff, but that's a logical 
consequence of how you've set up your queues.
