[rt-users] Reminder Emails

[Gene LeDuc]

The trigger for generating a reminder is a value in a custom field named 
NagDays.  That value can be set via an OnCreate scrip (which is the way I 
do it) or manually by a user via the RT webgui.  If NagDays doesn't exist 
or doesn't have anything in it, then the ticket is ignored.  I'll send you 
the perl script off-list.
