Hey list, I've been messing with Email_Local.pm for the last day, but I can't get it to work correctly. I need to make the regex used to detect ticket replies not require a space before the pound sign. I'm starting to suspect that Outlook isn't removing that space, but rather replacing it with some Unicode character no one can see, because I can't get this to work. I first tried /\[$test_name\s*\#(\d*)\s*\]/i but that didn't work. So I replaced the first \s* with .* (period asterisk) to tell it to match zero or more characters, no matter what they are. That, too, fails to work. What I change here seems to have no effect. Am I missing a file, other than RT/Interface/Email.pm? Is there some other setting or bit of code where this regex is defined and use, or is this file the only one? Thanks.
