Thank you all very much for your pointers. I've decided to implement the
SendEmail overlay from Gene, because it seems to give me exactly what I
need.

Gene, I've got it almost working, my only problem is that the original
subject line gets stripped as well, only the prefix part of the subject from
my template gets through.


My template is:
{
  my $ToAddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
  my $FromAddress = $Ticket->CreatorObj->EmailAddress;
  my $Subject = $RT::DisableSubjectToken;
  $Subject .= 'dummy' . $Ticket->Transactions->First->Subject;
  my $Content = $Ticket->Transactions->First->Content();
  $OUT = "From: $FromAddress\n";
  $OUT .= "To: $ToAddress\n";
  $OUT .= "Reply-To: $FromAddress\n";
  $OUT .= "Subject: $Subject\n\n";
  $OUT .= "$Content\n";
}

SendEmail_Local.pm looks like this:

use strict;
no warnings qw(redefine);

sub SetSubjectToken {
    my $self = shift;
    my $tag  = "[$RT::rtname #" . $self->TicketObj->id . "] ";
    my $sub  = $self->TemplateObj->MIMEObj->head->get('Subject');
    my $no_rt_flag = $RT::DisableSubjectToken if $RT::DisableSubjectToken;

    unless ( $sub =~ /\Q$tag\E/ ) {
        $sub =~ s/(\r\n|\n|\s)/ /gi;
        chomp $sub;

        if ( $no_rt_flag && $sub =~ /^\Q$no_rt_flag\E/ ) {
          $sub =~ s/(\Q$no_rt_flag\E)//;
          $tag = '';
        }
        $self->TemplateObj->MIMEObj->head->replace( 'Subject', $tag . $sub
);
    }
}

1;

And the email header is:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: dummy

Somewhere the original subject gets lost. Any ideas why?

(I am running RT 3.6.5)

Thanks,

Doro
