Moving reply back to the list so others might benefit.

The current code that looks up Classification expects it to be a 
queue-level custom field. If you make it global, it doesn't match the 
expected queue-level configuration, so the lookup doesn't find it. We 
could potentially change it to fall back to a global CF, but generally 
you only want RTIR custom fields applied to RTIR queues and not other 
queues in RT like General or any other queues you might use on the RT side.
