When email comes in, RT loads by the email address and looks for that
email address in the EmailAddress field and then in the Name field.

When email goes out, RT already has the user, and fetches the
EmailAddress to send them mail.  Since it's blank, it skips the user.

That's why this particular trick works.

There are probably 5 other ways email might not go out via RT (user
preference, ticket squelching, transaction squelching, etc) but this
covers the old failthful trick I described above.
