[rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Alex Hall]

I looked more closely at the difference. Outlook is stripping off the "Re: " part of the message subject in the reply, whereas Gmail leaves it on. That's the only difference I can find, but it must matter. I guess this is more an Outlook question now, unless there's something I can change in RT to make it not care about the Re: part of a reply?

The mailto: links populate the to: and subject: fields of the new message as they should, and when the new email is sent, a comment appears on the ticket. At least, if the user does this from the Gmail website (our domain mail is handled by Gmail). If the user is on Outlook, however, the "reply" gets turned into a new ticket. I can't see what the difference is, since the mailto: link is the same. We're on Outlook 2007, at least the few stations I've asked so far use 2007. Has anyone ever seen this before? Any troubleshooting suggestions? Thank you.
