I think he has separate queues but wants the email response going out of one of the queues to be accepted back into a different queue where it will reach the right people. If you had different RT instances you could find the different RT names in the subject line and each could have different ticket numbers, but I don't think there is a handy way to do this in a single instance. You can manually move the ticket into the right queue before responding (if you have rights to do both), but then it becomes a special case instead of just replying.

Thanks Les, that's exactly the situation - one RT instance, two queues,
two groups of people dealing with them, but they want to communicate as
they would with "external" people.

Is there any mileage in writing a filter outside RT to rewrite the
headers? I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to have a filter before
rt which takes a subject like:

[Netskills #1234] {Netskills #1236} Workshop booking details 10 Apr

and translates it to:

[Netskills #1236] {Netskills #1234} Workshop booking details 10 Apr

before passing it on to RT. Would that be worth a go do you think?

One approach would be to make a 3rd queue that has the combined set of users (fairly easy if you manage the users by putting them in groups and then using the groups for the queue permissions and watchers). It wouldn't be completely transparent because you would either have to create the ticket in this new queue or someone would have to recognize the sender and push it there, but after that the right things would happen. On the other hand, depending on the relationship between the groups you might not want them both to have complete access to the ticket (one end may want it closed before the other, etc.).
