[rt-users] Multiple Email Addresses

[John Arends]

I installed this but it as if it isn't there. The User_Vendor.pm file is 
present with the user merge code, and if I look at the source of 
Modify.html, the changes have been made to add code related to the merge 
function.

There is no option to merge users though.
