Yes,
I think you are correct that subject could be factored out
and displayName referenced directly.
However, I propose that this decision wait till after Preview
when there will be some additional refactoring of the
MailStamp schema.

Brian,
I think it'd be a step forward to get rid of the notion of
'subject' internally (that is, I think we should get rid of the
Calculated Andi mentions; the mail service would just treat
displayName as the subject. Where it's necessary to _label_ the
displayName differently, I think the UI layer can take care of
special-casing it. What do you think?

This update removes support for "redirectTo".
I changed all the remaining uses of redirectTo to use a python
property() or a schema.Calculated() instead.
One thing to watch out for are uses of getAttributeValue() and
setAttributeValue() on the attributes that became properties or
Calculateds.
As these are no longer Chandler attribute, a NoSuchAttributeError
should be reported when using these old APIs.
It is strongly recommended to use getattr() and setattr() instead
anyway, at least for performance reasons.
Also, emails that were not shared as anything else such as a task
or a calendar event prior to this change may lose their 'subject'.
That attribute used to be redirected to 'displayName' but there
were a bunch of backwards compatilibity tricks played to keep
sharing subjects as <subject> instead of <displayName>. These
tricks are now gone and 'subject' is just a schema.Calculated()
based on ContentItem.displayName.
