NAME

RT::Extension::EmailReplyDelimiter - Strip text from emails after a delimiter

DESCRIPTION

This extension alters email while it is being received by Request Tracker, removing text and any associated image attachments appearing after a reply delimiter such as "##- Please type your reply above this line -##".

RT VERSION

Known to work with RT 4.2.16, 4.4.4, and 5.0.1.

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

May need root permissions.

Edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

Add these lines:

Set(@EmailReplyDelimiters, '##- Please type your reply above this line -##');
Plugin('RT::Extension::EmailReplyDelimiter');
Restart your web server

CONFIGURATION

In RT_SiteConfig.pm, adjust @EmailReplyDelimiters so it contains a list of all of the email reply delimiters you will be using. Restart the service after making changes to this configuration item.

Then adjust the relevant RT templates to include a reply delimiter, on a line by itself, in the appropriate place.
