Thanks for your response. I am not necessarily looking for an easy way
to make RT do my bidding and upgrade is not an option right now. In a
way, I do not really need to use the template at all, incoming messages
are formated just as I want them to be.

I wanted to create a scrip that would just forward the mail to
requestors (that are set on ticket create via the REST interface). But I
have some problems with it.

This is my scrip:

*********
package RT::Action::ForwardGatewayReport;

use strict;
use warnings;

use base qw(RT::Action::SendEmail);

use Email::Address;

sub Prepare {
    my $self = shift;
    # Set recipients to ticket requestors
    $self->SetRecipients();
    return 1;
}

sub Commit {
  my $self = shift;

  my $mail;

  # ???
  # What here?
  # ???

  my $rc = $self->SendMessage($mail);
  if ($rc && RT->Config->Get('RecordOutgoingEmail'))
  {
    $self->RecordOutgoingMailTransaction($mail);
  }
  return $rc;
}
**********

I have tried to recreate the $mail with transaction attachments read as
ContentAsMIME() but I have never managed to successfully extract the
original email.

The other thing I have in mind is to create a new mime object of type
multipart/alternative and insert those two text/plain and text/html
parts. But that seems to me a bit cumbersome, given that everything is
already there.

Other issue I am having is that using this script, the correspondence
gets recorded gazzilion times and not just once. Do you have any idea,
where the problem might be?

Thanks,
Martin
