[Chandler-dev] [Proposal] Assigning an "Owner" to an item

Hi Mimi,

> own Mimi

So, my way of thinking about this (if I got it right) is, in the who column:

- When a message is unread, everything acts the way it does now
- When a message is read, Owner takes precedence, if their is one

Beyond that, we're just adding a new field that defaults to empty.

Is that right?  Sounds good to me.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
