Default RT behavior is to re-open a ticket upon reply. 

To avoid pointlessly re-opening tickets, you could politely ask (with an
explanation) your users to not reply to resolve notices with thank you
notes.

The OnResolveOnce scrip contributed by Russell Mosemann (see
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?OnResolveOnce) also works well
for us. It notifies the requestor only the first time a ticket is
resolved. Tickets are still re-opened on reply/comment, but it prevents
something like:

Tech            resolves ticket, requestor notifed
Requestor    sends thank you reply, and re-opens ticket
Tech            resolves ticket, requestor notified
Requestor    sends reply, wasn't this already resolved...
Tech            resolves ticket, requestor notified
...

Instead you may have:

Tech            resolves ticket, requestor notifed
Requestor    sends thank you reply, and re-opens ticket
Tech            resolves ticket, requestor _not_ notified
