If ticket number is kept, then the value in to or cc or bcc field doesn't
make sense, and same ticket is getting updated?

It will update the ticket and that all updating is kept within OTRS if some
wants to reply/check through web interface right ?

That's not entirely true. Agents *can* reply via mail client, but then OTRS
thinks it's a customer's answer. This "customer"'s answer will be added to
the ticket as usual if the ticket number is kept intact.

In fact, this is how about half of my agents use OTRS. The only time they
actually use OTRS's interface is when they want to lock, free, or close a
ticket or when they want to assign it to someone else. Most or all those
actions could be archieved by using OTRS's mail headers, so even then the
interface is not necessary. Unfortunately we are still stuck with an OTRS
version that's too old for those headers to work, and with a mail client too
dense to add truely custom header lines, so I can't tell more about that
part. They just needed to get used to being informed about their own answer
arriving, and not confusing those notifications with true customer answers
:-(.

Hope this helps,
