[chandler-users] Edit/update workflow?

[Brian Kirsch]

Hi Cody,
For the Edit / Update scenario to work as described below requires both
users to be downloading and sending mail stamped items from a  
Chandler Desktop
client.

In this case mail becomes essential a P2P mechanism for sharing item  
information
and changes.

If users are responding to messages sent from Chandler in another  
mail client
the messages act as one would normally expect: multiple emails in a  
threaded
discussion.

Hope this answers your question,
Brian Kirsch
