So there is no specific cases for the Mail Service. If the to or cc is the me address then it appears in the 'In'. If the from or reply to (Sent Via) is the me address then it appears in the 'Out'.
Correct. No specific cases for Mail Service. Yes. Reply-to and Send via sound similar.
Ok if they are similar then how are they different? I am concerned that we are inventing work flows that standard email RFC's already address.
Perhaps I misspoke. In Chandler, the From field doesn't necessarily have a valid email address. It could just be text. The "Send via" field is what would normally go in the "From" field of a traditional email client.
In normal email clients, recipients of Chandler messages will see the email address in the "Send via" field appear in the "From field".
Honestly I don't see what you are trying to accomplish here. A email message in a traditional mail client must have a from with a valid email address. It can't just be text. If the Send Via is normally what would go in the From field then lets put that in the From field. We still have to support traditional email clients so why are we reinventing the wheel here?
If we can accomplish the same behavior with From and Reply To and these are already know by the millions of people who already use email clients shouldn't we try and leverage that paradigm. All the mail code and mail libraries work off mail RFC's which assume a From / Reply to structure. The Send Via is a Chandler custom concept which means additional work. It is not that I have a problem with providing cool new behavior but in the Send Via case it seems exactly like existing supported mail use cases. I still don't understand what the purpose of re-architecting know work flows provides.
I think at this point a Skype is in order to sort this out. I think we might be able to refine this a bit.

So it's more like, Chandler won't have a separate "Reply-to" email address, unless we add that option to the Email Account setup dialog.
For Preview: "Send via" on the Chandler item = "From" on the underlying email message = "Reply to" on the underlying email address.
