Robert,

There was content, but some non-MIME-compliant mailers don't know how
to display MIME-types they don't understand. :-( I've included a cut
and paste of the body of the message as it came back to me below
(trimming sigs, etc), and I won't be signing this one:

Is it possible to easily re-assign (or append) the contents of one
ticket in OTRS to be linked in under another ticket?  The reason I ask
is that the current ticket tracking system being used where I'm at
has that functionality (either built-in or customized), since some
people will send completely independent emails with what amounts to
"followup" information to a pre-existing ticket.

Currently, every incoming email generates a new ticket, which makes
linking this followup info difficult (though not impossible).  What
I'd like to do is have some sort of "reassign" field on the ticket
view (probably in the Zoom), to link in the new ticket.  Modifying the
.dtl and writing a module isn't a problem (I'm evaluating and adding
customizations to OTRS now, and it's a *really* nice system compared
to what I've worked with in the past).

Basically, my plan is to have a custom module modify the matching
articles, changing the ticket_id field in the article table, to point
to the ticket being appended, then closing the ticket the articles
originally came from (I realize some of the text within the articles
will be referring to the other ticket number, but that isn't a
problem).

What I'm concerned about is that I might have missed something
somewhere along the line that could mess things up, corrupt data,
etc.  Since the current lack is seen by some people as a "show
stopper" for moving to OTRS, I'm hoping it's really as simple as I
think it is.

Thanks,
Mike
