[rt-users] Emails causing duplicate tickets?

That's the behavior I want. My problem is that the email then stays in the
inbox or imap subfolder without being deleted. This causes RT to make a new
ticket from that same email over and over again, since it always thinks
it's a new message, even though it already processed it.
