[rt-users] Working "Resolved - complete history" Template

I tried a few of the existing "Resolved" Templates I found in the
archives, and had some trouble getting them to work, but I persevered and
finally made something I liked that had additional features.  In the
process, I learned much more about DBI::SearchBuilder and how templates
work.

I'm still not sure I'll use this as a 'resolved' template for sending to
Requestor on close of tickets, but it would be useful for any sort of
reporting needed on status, or other 'what's the history?' need.
Imagine a 'ifPriorityExceeds' calling this to notify some else of the
ticket and the history behind it.

Only correspondence is processed (easy to change)

Items with no subject are given the Subject of the Ticket itself,
rather than no subject listed.

and no emails are given, only Real Names. (again, fairly easy to add)

Overall, I like it.  Shows me the power of RT templates.  For webusers,
this isn't really needed, but for email users, this could be very nice
indeed (imagine a 'send history' command)
