Hi,

Perhaps more important than the Chandler desktop user using email submissions as a way to get data into Chandler from other email clients...email submissions allows casual collaborators, to submit items to shared collections without having to use Chandler and/or go to Cosmo. Instead, they can collaborate with Chandler users (Hub, Coordinator, etc) from the comfort of their own email client.
Agree. However, if the management of complex email aliases ([EMAIL PROTECTED] for instance) and the mastery of arcane subject line (/event 12/15/06 it's Xmas!) becomes to difficult or error prone, this comfort might rapidly dissipate. Just the fact that they'll have to remember at least 2 email addresses for each person (the "normal" email and the "calendar" email) is going to be difficult for some to understand, unless they are motivated for professional reasons (e.g. Coordinator).

That's why I was trying to refocus on the user scenarios and needs. I was afraid that we were starting to loose sight of them (at least, *I* was clearly started to become confused...).

Cheers,
