Postmaster filter: merge tickets by header

Hi, I would like to convert incoming mails into articles of the same ticket. Example: Mail A, B, C all contain the same unique ID in their header. I wish to merge all these mails into the same ticket as different articles. Im able to define the format the unique ID; so its possible to use it as ticket ID, if needed. Is that possible or do we have to modify the Postmaster Filter script for that? I found no clue in the docs for defining/changing the Ticket ID with Postmaster filter.

If the subject of the email contains a properly formatted TicketID block:
for example: [Ticket#2010120810000014] , it will assign the article to the
ticket. As I see from the PostMaster Headers, there is no other way to set a
ticket number in the header, neither via direct assignment nor via
PostMasterFilter.
You'd have to have the ticket number in order to assign the new emails to
the ticket.
Other options are:
Note Internal or External and Copy/Paste.
or
Log into the ticket Admin and zoom the ticket
Compose a Reply to yourself with a blank body
when you receive the email, reply to it with the other email as attachment
or inline, one at a time or all at once.
or
somehow use a procmail or other pre-filter that puts the ticket number in
the subject based upon your header
or
change the PostMasterFilter code to look at your header information for
ticket number
