I've hacked RT 1.0.2 so that resolved tickets are watched by a perl script
running via cron every few minutes until they have been resolved for 2 days.
It then moves them to a queue called closed and then sends the requestor a
survey about the work order.


A few things that would be nice to have in RT is another permission level
between Admin and Manipulate that gives you Admin power, but doesn't send
you all those emails (as if you were set to the Display level).  The other
is the ability to select what emails go back to the requestor.  Some of our
users are complaining about the number of emails they get from RT.  Just
being able to not have the transactions sent to them would be nice.
