Hi Brian,

I'm not sure I understand. Why does the user need to understand this? You asked if there was a way to avoid sending an EIML attachment with every single Chandler mail? This is just a way to do that, but it's not really an end-user facing feature.

Hi Mimi,
In order to participate in an Edit / Update workflow EIML must be generated from the first sent message. Thus the user has to know that he or she must have a different from then sent by to generate that first EIML record. Otherwise, that email will never be able to participate in a Edit / Update workflow. I think this would lead to confusion by users.

Yes, I am looking for ways technically to prevent having to generate EIML for every message sent from Chandler. And yes your suggestion would limit the sending of EIML but again I am concerned that to the user it will not be clear that entering a different from is the way to trigger the start of the Edit / Update workflow.

Does that make sense?

Hi Mimi,
1. If Sender of the message (Send as: byline field) is not the same as the From: field, then the message requires an EIML attachment.


This concerns me. Although from a technical standpoint this is doable I am worried that users will not understand that the from has to be different to start a Edit / Update work-flow.

Does anyone else think this might be confusing?
