[rt-users] sending an email to requestor when request leaves a certain queue

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Gary,

Make sure that you have a blank line as the first line of your new 
template.  The body of an email needs to be separated from the subject by 2 
newline characters (in other words, a blank line).

Regards,
Gene
