[rt-users] Spaces not allowed in Custom Fields when generating tickets via e-mail

[Ruslan Zakirov]

Guys, in lib/RT/Interface/Email/Filter/TakeAction.pm file replace the
following line:

        last if $line !~ /^(?:(\S+)\s*?:\s*?(.*)\s*?|)$/;

with

        last if $line !~ /^(?:([^:]+)\s*?:\s*?(.*)\s*?|)$/;

stop and start server, test, report back. however this change will
make ':' character illegal in CF name.
