comment appears on the ticket. At least, if the user does this from the
Gmail website (our domain mail is handled by Gmail). If the user is on
Outlook, however, the "reply" gets turned into a new ticket. I can't see
what the difference is, since the mailto: link is the same. We're on
Outlook 2007, at least the few stations I've asked so far use 2007. Has
anyone ever seen this before? Any troubleshooting suggestions? Thank you.

Have you verified that the subject tag isn't getting stripped?

There are two ways to identify a reply - one via the subject and other via
in-reply-to header which most clients insert. In-reply-to isn't parsed by
RT, so a custom code is needed for that.

I got it from someone on this list and have implemented as a local
customization.
