Hi all - 
I'm setting up my helpdesk.  I have email working and had success if a user initiates the ticket via email...but
if a user calls or IM's me with an issue and I enter the ticket manually -  including them as the user they do not receive emails when I do a public reply in my update.
All my templates are configured and I do have email replies working in instances where the user initiates the ticket via email.   
Is this by design?  Or am I missing something in the configuration?  Or is something broken?
Thanks in advance.
