[rt-users] rt 1.0.7 and Emacs integration

[Rich West]

You aren't going to like it, but I've got just one phrase for you:
web-interface.

:)

IMHO, having all of that email go to your mailbox/mail spool, aside from
being an extra layer of pain, is messier than anything.

Using RT as a helpdesk (as it was designed) is more of a philosophy than
anything else and really is a separation of help requests from the rest of
the email out there.  Moving away from using your personal mailbox as a
catch-all for every email under the sun would be more productive.  Procmail
and the like may work nicely for mailing lists & such, but RT is so much
more than a simple mailing list.
