[Rtir] Adding Constituencies without breaking what we already have setup

Hi Folks,

We have a very busy RTIR installation already in production.  We'd
like to start handling abuse reports for another provider and though
the Constituency system is probably the way to go.  The goal here is
to have different templates depending on the constituency of a ticket.
I've been reading
https://bestpractical.com/docs/rtir/3.0/Constituencies.html among
other things but I'm not really clear on how to get different
templates depending on what constituency is set on the ticket for an
Investigation.

I think it works like this:
- Email comes in
- I've modified RTIR_FindIP.pm to set the Constituency field depending
on which hosting provider the IP address belongs to
- A subsequently created Incident will inherit the Constituency (is that right?)
- A subsequently created Investigation will inherit the Constituency
(is that right?)

but ... How does one ensure that a different template is used per
constituency?  Also a different From address should be used to send
the Investigation email as well.

I've tried creating another Queue called "Incident Reports - XYZ"
where XYZ is the constituency name I'm using but I didn't see any
magic so I must be misunderstanding what creating Constituency based
queues is for.  I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how can we
implement constituencies to a system that's already been in operation
and very busy for over a year?
