After doing some additional testing, I realize now that the problem
seems to happen before the ticket system sends the email. So even though
the email sent by ColdFusion looks fine when I receive it directly, the
ticket system is seeing something different.
Unless someone has any other suggestions, I think I will re-write the
system myself, rather that trying to make this (sketchy) pre-built
ticket system work the way I need it to.
