I'm considering doing something similar. In my case, I like the "friendly-from" for emails going out to external requestors -- because it helps to keep customers from trying to correspond directly with an engineer rather than going through RT -- but for emails coming through RT to internal staff, I'd like to see the origin email address. In part this is purely cosmetic; most peoples' email clients put that string into the reply-string in the email (e.g. see the top of this email, where it says "[...] Steve Kirk wrote:") and it looks weird when people forget to edit the reply string and it goes out with "on this date at this time 'Via RT' wrote:" I've not had time to look at it yet (that's what weekends are for, right? :-) but I suspect the way I'll end up going is to define a template that rewrites the "From" header with suitable values obtained from the ticket object, and then override the default scrip for "on Correspond Notify AdminCcs" to use that template rather than the global Admin Correspondence or Correspondence templates. -- /Ole Craig Security Engineer 303-381-3802 (main support hotline) 303-381-3824 (my direct line) 303-381-3801 (fax) www.stillsecure.com . . . _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
