[rt-users] Emails from "RT System Itself" come through as "unknown"

[Jannae Jacks]

Actually, I think I've gotten to the bottom of it. The Transaction Template
has this line:

From: "{$Transaction->CreatorObj->RealName}"
<{$Transaction->CreatorObj->EmailAddress}>

So when a ticket is cut by the RT_System user, it's populating with the
empty email field, because the RT_System user does not have an email
address.

I am not sure if this is the default Transaction template, or if someone
from our team in years past has modified this. Does anyone know? Or, have
you encountered this problem before? i can probably whip up a simple IF
statement to resolve this, but I was just curious if there was a better way.

Thanks for all your help thus far!
