Heh, I'm not surprised I lost you, we're revisiting this issue and
so it hasn't been re-presented on the list in the most coherent
fashion.
So, the way I think about update history is that 'Send as' is just
1 of the entries in the update history...For example, if we could
defy the laws of 2-D computer screen physics, we could try and
display the entire log history in the detail view, which would look
something like:
+ Created by xxx on xxx
+ Addressed and Sending as xxx
+ Sent by xxx on xxx
+ Being edited and updating as xxx
+ Updated by xxx on xxx
We should preserve this history so at some point we can add a pop up
window where a user can view the evolution of this communication. The
pop up would be a very easy to add feature.

Since we don't have unlimited space, we're only showing the last
entry in the log history at a time. Sometimes, the entry describes
something has already happend (e.g. Created, Edited, Updated)
Sometimes, the entry describes something is in the processing of
happening: (e.g. Sending as, Updating as).
However, after all that, I can also see how you could separate
update history from the 'Send as' address:
Edited by xxx on xxx
Update as | select email account |v|
For now, we're optimizing for space and mushing those two together.
Does that make more sense?

Hi Jeremy,
Good question: Yes that's the idea behind the 'Send as' field.
It's not really the 'Send as' field. I think the best name for it
is probably *byline*. But the idea is that it dynamically updates
to display whatever happened last.
You lost me here. I thought the only reason for "send as" was to
have someone else's name appear as the creator but so that I
receive and handle all the updates (and is only relevant when
using email as the transport?). It seems a completely orthogonal
concept to update history, i.e., who last changed the item.
