Hi Mimi, I understand and agree readily with all but one piece of your proposal, this part:

I am not as informed as you are about the many permutations of sharing as it affects owner, but it does not seem intuitive to me that Chandler would automatically change the owner (in the Who column) for an item merely due to my having read the item.

It is very possible, I know, that I misunderstand your proposal.

*PROPOSAL*

So here's the proposal:

1. Add new "Owner" attribute on the Note-Kind that is blank by default.
2. Who column displays attributes in accordance with the following rules:
- Owner, if there is one
- From, if incoming email
- To, if outgoing email
- To, if it's both incoming *and* outgoing email
- From, if it's neither incoming *nor* outgoing email
- Edited by
- Created by

3. I think we still want to keep the "transient" Who column behavior we have today where if an item is edited, sent or updated by somebody else, you see that information in the Who column so long as the item is considered "Unread". As soon as you've read it however, that information goes away and is replaced by whatever Who-attribute is supposed to appear based on the rules above.
