It's mentioned here briefly:

To be more specific, you can create a file 
local/lib/RT/Interface/Email_Local.pm and create your own version of 
ParseTicketId. RT will then use your version of that subroutine rather 
than the main one.

I think this sort of change would be great in an extension. For example, 
here's another extension that provides a small bit of alternate 
functionality in handling subjects:
