We use this template for our correspondence. It's not great but it's a
start.

--------8<--------
Subject: {$Transaction->Subject || "Re: [".$rtname." #".$Ticket->id."] (".$Ticket->QueueObj->Name.") ".$Ticket->Subject}

{$Transaction->Content()}
{
  my $attachments = $Transaction->Attachments;
  $attachments->GotoFirstItem;
  my $c=0;
  $attachments->Next;
  my $out;
  while (my $attachment=$attachments->Next) {
    next unless ($attachment->Content || $attachment->Children->Count);
    $c++;
    next if $c<2;
    $out.=sprintf("\n-- attachment %2d ------------------------------------------------------\n",$c-1);
    if ($attachment->ContentType =~ m{^(text/plain|message|text$)}i && length($attachment->Content)<4096) {
      $out.=$attachment->Content;
    } else {
      $out.="url: ".$RT::WebURL."Ticket/Attachment/".$Transaction->Id."/".$attachment->Id."/".$attachment->Filename."\n";
    }
  }
  $out;
}
-- request information ------------------------------------------------
request: [{$rtname} #{$Ticket->id}] ({$Ticket->QueueObj->Name})
{$Ticket->Subject}
 status: {$Ticket->Status}
  owner: {$Ticket->OwnerObj->Name}
    url: {$RT::WebURL}Ticket/Display.html?id={$Ticket->id}

Note that there might be some newlines in there that you should take out.
I have not yet found out a way to construct messages with attachments with
the templates.
