Thanks very much for the reply; unfortunately, I still do not know how to 
proceed with updating my RT server to change the content of the 
auto-generated emails.

I understand many of the things written below (except maybe the part about 
Scrips).  I get the general concept.  I understand what it's doing.

*** I DON'T KNOW __HOW__ TO IMPLEMENT IT ***

Which file?  What procedure?  Where do I change the text and what must I do 
to get my system to update once I do make the appropriate changes?

I have installed an entire, working, RT system by myself, so it's not like 
I don't have some feel for this software.

For what it's worth, I updated the 'Autoreply' portion of 
/usr/local/rt3/etc/initialdata (my install is in /usr/local/rt3 and not 
/opt/rt3) with the template found at 
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?AutogeneratedPassword .  I rebooted 
my Apache server.  No change in outbound email content (outbound email 
still has the old, default content, no new links, even when I send from an 
email account that's not previously registered in the database/system).

What file must I change, what procedure must I follow, etc?

What *exactly* does this mean in terms of the nuts and bolts of a file 
sytem, a web page, what?  What interface?  Which file?  Which URL?

Still searching...
