[rt-users] Add watcher based on email address or domain

[Kenneth Crocker]

Neil,



	Why do you need separate "watchers" for each ticket? Each Requestor of 
a ticket will have their own E_mail address anyway and whatever 
privileges you want this "watcher" to have you can grant via the 
"Requestor" role either globally or per queue. If the privileges are to 
be the same, regardless of who sent a ticket, then grant the privileges 
to the "Requestor" role globally. What is the real purpose behind the 
separate watcher concept?
