Hi Thomas,

at first we used the 'name via RT <our.rt at addr.es>' and then the 'name
<our.rt at addr.es>' pattern, but in both cases our users were unhappy,
because their addressbooks in mail clients started to grow with
duplicate entries for each involved identity. And as we wanted to keep
the name in the header for clarity, using individual addresses seemed
like the only option.

Each message sent from our RT has its address in the reply-to header and
users learned (almost) not to use reply-all but only reply and
reply-to-conference. So far it is working to (almost) everyone's liking
and the signing and occasional doubling of mails because someone used
reply-all are our only problems.

Hmm, that sounds like the most clean solution. The 'AfterGnuPG' callback
is going to be my friend. Thank you for the hint.

Cheers,
