I use an different approach.
My web form create an mail and I create for every custom fields an mail
header. Within RT I parse the mail header and set the custom field values.
The ticket create message doesn't contain the custom field values but I
can always take a look at the mail headers by "Show full header".

If you want to rewrite the ticket create message you have to take care
not to remove the wrong content.
