The problem we are having is if the user's email is under "Requester" , and
they send in follow-ups it creates a new ticket that is linked to the
original.  These user's aren't in the GLPI DB so only their email address
shows up.  We also have some situations where a user will reply with an
email address that differs from the one in GLPI's DB, in which case it will
again create a new ticket rather than adding the response as a follow-up.
 For my organization all mail goes to u...@tamu.edu, but if they respond
from the web based mail it will show up as from u...@neo.tamu.edu, which
complicates things.  I hope that made sense.

I just updated my dev server to 0.80.2 and it appears to be resolved.  I
think yall's solution is much more elegant than what I did, but it may not
help in the 2nd problem case I mentioned where a user uses a different email
account to respond.

Thanks
