[rt-devel] API call to get "Created" value of history replies of all tickets

[Andrii Iudin]

Dear Alex,

Please could you tell if "Told" is updated only when the reply is sent 
from an RT user? Is it possible to set it up to be updated even for 
replies from external sources, e.g. when the requestor sends the reply?

Best regards,
Andrii
