You should inspect the headers in both cases. If they contain in-reply-to, you can use that to solve the problem.
My problem originally was people in Cc replying to a mail sent to RT (and by default, people in CC do not get auto reply email). This was successfully solved by the in-reply-to patch. https://gist.github.com/nileshgr/637cdacd1aa7710343aed e20cabb66a6 Just save that file in local/lib/RT/Interface/Email_Local.pm and restart RT. -- Nilesh On Mon, 2016-10-31 at 19:36 +0530, Nilesh wrote: > I don't think Re matters.
