It's mentioned here briefly:

https://docs.bestpractical.com/rt/4.2.13/RT/StyleGuide.html#The-Overlay-mechanism

To be more specific, you can create a file 
local/lib/RT/Interface/Email_Local.pm and create your own version of 
ParseTicketId. RT will then use your version of that subroutine rather 
than the main one.

here's another extension that provides a small bit of alternate 
functionality in handling subjects:
