I would try installing the command by mail extention for RT
and using the:

        AddCc: <address> Add new Cc watcher using the email address

command to add the email address of the vendor. I think the AddCc
occurs before the email notifications are sent. So if you use the
reply address with the normal notification scrips it should work.

This will result in an autoreply to the person opening the ticket, but
I think you want that as confirmation that the ticket was opened and
properly processed.
