What happened is, that a helpdesk person was trying to reply to a ticket several times, but only on their third try RT sent out the actual email message and printed "Outgoing email recorded" on the ticket history. The first two trys only resulted in the correspondence entry being printed on the ticket history, but no email was sent and no message of outgoing email was printed. The helpdesk person says that every try was identical and no changes were made on the reply page, other than a change in ticket status (between stalled and open).

Look in your RT server logs for errors, and possibly your mail logs as
well.  In some cases the machine is too overloaded and RT can't start
sendmail.  Newer versions of RT report on the ticket when sending mail
failed.
