The UI I've been talking about definitely not about email-client UI.  The
proposal supports integration with every email client and server available.

For UI, we need a way for someone to optionally pick the email address that
will become "live" as a way to submit items.  That's probably an additional
field on the Chandler publish dialog.

For what it's worth, I completely see how this option helps bridge the gap
for me and others.  If I publish an email address for my primary
collection(s), then I can use the "forward" mechanism of my client(s) to
enter items into Chandler.  Moreover, I can also use my server-side and
client-side filters to auto-submit certain kinds of items that enter my
world via email (1200 a day at last averaging) straight into Chandler.

That's the current consensus proposal that Mimi and I have both endorsed.
