The attached patch takes care of this. (It's actually to
Ticket/Update.html.) Ughity indeed; the logic is starting
to become hard to understand. ;)

This patch also has a caveat: it applies equally to Comment
transactions done via the WebUI as to Correspondence. While
it would be possible to trigger only on correspond, this
adds more hard to follow (IMO) conditional bits and just
isn't worth the hassle for me. Someone else might want to
do it, though.
