As I believe has been said, but I'll repeat it.
Using the ticket id instead of the incoming email is a feature of RT.

For example, it allows me to move a ticket from development to sales
when we need to get something quoted back and a user can email any
address and have it routed.

Alternately, you can use the same code used by the RepliesToResolved
plugin which forces new ticket creation if the replied to ticket is in
an inactive state.

Hopefully soon we'll release a backport of the new gateway we're
developing for 4.4 which would also make plugging this in easier.
