[rt-users] One requirement for RT notifications

[Roy El-Hames]

Odhiambo;
This been discussed few times before, and its on the wiki (but it 
appears the wiki been attacked again) ..
To add the initial request to the mail message what you need is to 
change the Transaction template to something similar to:

RT-Attach-Message: yes


This is an admin correspondence:
{$RT::WebURL}Ticket/Display.html?id={$Ticket->id}

{$Transaction->CreatedAsString}: Request {$Ticket->id} was acted upon.
Transaction: {$Transaction->Description}
       Queue: {$Ticket->QueueObj->Name}
     Subject: {$Transaction->Subject || $Ticket->Subject || "(No subject 
given)"}
       Owner: {$Ticket->OwnerObj->Name}
       Ticket Queue = {$Ticket->QueueObj->Name}
  Requestors: {$Ticket->RequestorAddresses}
      Status: {$Ticket->Status}
 Ticket <URL: {$RT::WebURL}Ticket/Display.html?id={$Ticket->id} >


This ticket is now assigned to {$Ticket->OwnerObj->Name}
=============================================
The initial request was:
====
{
 my $cont  = '';
 my $trans = $Ticket->Transactions;
 $trans->Limit(FIELD => 'Type', VALUE => 'Create');
 while (my $tran = $trans->Next) {
    my $attach = $tran->Attachments;
    while (my $msg = $attach->Next){
      next unless $msg->ContentType =~ m!^(text/plain|message|text$)!i;
      my $content = $msg->Content;
      next unless $content;
      next if $cont eq $content;
      $cont = $content;
      my $wrapper = Text::Wrapper->new(columns=>70);
      $cont = $wrapper->wrap($cont);
     }  
 }
  $cont ;
}
=============================================
