Automatically add user as watcher for issues created via email.

Added by Oivvio Polite almost 14 years ago

I'm setting up redmine with the intent of using as bug tracker AND as
support/issue-tracker for non technical end users.

For the non technical users I want email to be the primary interface. I
want to let them create issues via email and follow the progression of
their issues via email.

I've managed to figure out how to create new issues via email by
running the rake task "redmine:email:receive_imap". I use the
options "unknown_user=create no_permission_check=1" so for each new
email-address that the system has not seen before a new user is created.
Unfortunately these auto-created users aren't added as watchers to the
issues they create. Which is what I want to accomplish.

I have the feeling that doing this would be a five minute one-line hack
for someone well versed in the code base.

I'd be really grateful for any help.

I second that request! Would be very good for our support system as well.
