[rt-users] Recognize tickets created via email or via web

[Michele Bergonzoni]

I have a custom scrip where I want to distinguish whether the ticket was 
created via email or via web.

Now I am looking at ther "Received:" header of the first attachment of 
the first transaction of the ticket:

 my $web;
 my $transactions=$self->TicketObj->Transactions;
 my $tr = $transactions->Next;
 my $attachments = $tr->Attachments;
 my $a = $attachments->Next;
 if ($a->GetHeader("Received")){
   $web=0;
 } else {
   $web=1;
 }

This apparently works and has insofar not misclassified, but seems quite 
ugly to me. For example, future versions of RT could add a "Received:" 
with the IP address where the web connection came from (many webmails do 
that). I didn't even try with a ticket created via CLI.

Can anyone suggest a better and future-proof approach?

Regards,
                                Bergonz
