[rt-users] One requirement for RT notifications

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hi Roy,

Thank you so much for this valuable clue.

Before I posted this question, I had thoroughly scoured the wiki for 
clues, because I do remember seeing such a discussion, but I just could 
not find it!
Perhaps there is something Jesse will do to secure the wiki.

| To add the initial request to the mail message what you need is 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 ;
| }
| =============================================
