One item that should be documented is that this extension cannot handle
spaces in the custom field names. Spaces causes it to break. :(

The extension works rather well once you get past the caveats of the
formatting. With regard to the slimness of the documentation, it
doesn't mention those 'simple rules', which forced me to comb through
the code (which is rather clean) to determine the proper formatting
which led to the discovery that outlook has a tendency to insert blank
lines when the MIME conversion happens.
Also, the section describing how it applies to custom fields is fairly
vague. Are the curly braces required (is that what is meant by "The
curly braces are literal") for custom field declaration? Would a
correct example be "CustomField.{Severity}: Severity 2 - Multiple
Users Down"? Does "AddCustomField" set the custom field, or would
that be "CustomField"? What, if any, is the difference between
AddCustomField and CustomField?
Specifically, I have been unable to get custom fields to be applied
when testing this extension. Everything else worked once I realized
that my mail program was getting blank lines inserted. :(

Simple rules: no html, no empty lines, commands like headers, but in body.

Way back in the day, when I was heavily involved in the development of
RT, there was a way to send commands in to RT to set some of the
metadata (queue, owner, status, etc).
Now that the place I am at is heavily entrenched in to RT 3.8.4 and our
separate front-end form submission system is nearing completion (it's on
an ASP server.. not by my choice, but it is what it is..), I'm looking
in to how to get the latest RT to do the same. I installed the
CommandsByMail extension, and it is parsing the email, but it isn't
parsing everything. In fact, it is only processing the Owner setting.
I get the feeling like I am missing syntax, ordering, or something, but
I am not getting a lot (any) of debugging out of it. Additionally, the
documentation is relatively slim.
Any pointers in the right direction are more than welcome. :)
Thanks!
