[rt-users] create a new ticket with a forward?

[Jo Rhett]

For some reason I thought this would be easy, but it appears not.

Let's say I get a ticket opened.  I need to create a child subticket  
and send that to a customer/vendor who needs to address part of the  
issue.  I need to add some text to that.  Is there any easy way to do  
this, or am I looking at hacking the source tree to do this?

The issues as I see it are:

1. Forward just forwards the original mail.  It either includes the  
existing ticket number or not, based on a option.  There's no way I  
can find for it to assign a new ticket number.

2. It doesn't allow me to add comments above the forwarded mail.

3. The brute force "copy all", create child ticket, "paste all"  
doesn't work because linefeeds are removed from the pasted text.  This  
has to do with the lines not having both CR and Linefeed when sent to  
Firefox and style problems the developers say, but either way it makes  
copy/paste useless.
