Solution for User Password + Viewing ticket status

The following template will send users an auto-generated random pronounceable password if inserted into an autoreply template.

(All previous tickets will still show up in the web ui) --JesseVincent

($Ticket->RequestorAddresses !~ m/domain\.com$/i) &&

Note: fixed variable case error below as described at http://gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/users/26492?search_string=password;#26492
