[Design] Accidentally sharing item that was only emailed around...

[Mimi Yin]

Aparna and Andre have been investigating a bug where Andre gained  
read-write access to a Chandler item he received via email by adding  
it to a second shared collection he has read-write access to.

As a result, Aparna and I were seeing Andre's non-emailed edits on  
the item and vice versa, even though we never set up a formal sharing  
relationship by exchanging read-write ticket URLs for a commonly  
shared collection.

Randy, Morgen, could you give us on the design list an update on  
where you are wrt this issue (or point us to the latest dev-list  
write-up)?

Hi Aparna,

We *want* users to be able to edit and update email they send/ 
receive. However, you, Andre and I have *not* formally established  
any kind of sharing relationship by exchanging read-write tickets for  
a shared collection, so we shouldn't see each other day-to-day edits,  
only edits that are sent via email updates.

Currently, the server stores only 1 instance of any item, so even  
though the 3 of us aren't sharing a collection, we end up sharing the  
item because the server figures out at we've each uploaded the same  
item to our respective collections on the server and any edits we  
each make to that item are made to the same item on the server.

Anyhow, my understanding is that we will fix this issue for 1.0...but  
I'm not clear on the details and hoping Randy and Morgen can fill us in.
