[rt-users] Stripping quoted text from emailed ticket replies

Hello all, The other major problem my boss has with RT is how emailed replies include quoted text/original messages. If four replies come in, each carrying with it the entire conversation history, the web UI showing the ticket very quickly becomes a huge mess. I found a thread from this list that

Hey all, Our virtual server host isn't too familiar with Linux. We have a Debian server, finally, but when I try to apt-get install request-tracker4, I get a bunch of errors about not being able to install dependencies. I'm using the sources the original install came with. What source(s) do I need

I would not use the repo version even without familiarity with Linux - it would make things actually more difficult later. I would follow the instructions exactly as they are written by BestPractical from the .tar.gz on their site. One thing you can do to make life a little easier before

I had to install a bunch of perl modules after the upgrade. (Probably "make fixdeps" or reinstalling RT would have done the same, more quickly, but I'm kind of stubborn sometimes. Also this wasn't our production server so I had some freedom to just poke at it and figure out what it needed.)

To my very inexperienced eye, nothing stands out between the two servers. I also had a look at sources.list for both, and the only difference I see is in the mirrors. One has no mirrors selected, but it does have the basic security.debian.org sources; the other has some mirrors for Digital Ocean,
