Hi Kevin, thanks for the reply.  Well, ideally... both.  I don't think 
the requestor needs to see all the custom fields s/he just entered, but 
I think that could be done by just tweaking the autoreply template, 
yes?  But the main goal would be to transform the body that gets stuffed 
into the ticket; i.e. yes, the view that the people working the ticket 
will see.

E.g. Incoming email body:
-------
Name: Cuthbert Rumbold
Email: cr at example.org
Phone number or extension: 125
Request Category: Network Connectivity/Internet Access
Summary of request or problem: Internet down
Detailed description of request or problem: No internet access on floor 2
Computer Platform: Mac - 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Urgency: 2. Functionally impaired, need soon
Asset tag: OU812
-------

Becomes:
-------
No internet access on floor 2
-------

(and all the other lines are captured to CFs using Extract Custom Field 
Values scrip)

Thank you,
Roy
