[Rt-devel] Display Ticket number before actually creating the ticket

Does it not work well to create the basics (email addr, problem report etc), hit create, give the ticket number, and then go back and fill in the fileds?

I would imagine there is something to keeping the tickets in order or using the numbers smartly in keeping the ticket number give after the actual ticket is created.
