[Arp] return result from command, or add to ModelLocator then fetch from there?

[Aral Balkan]

Hi list,

Sorry for the extended silence -- I forgot to ask Thunderbird to "check 
this folder for updates" after switching from client-side to server-side 
filters and was wondering why the list was so dead.

This is definitely a better way: It allows the model to be updated from 
the Commands which better encapsulates business logic.

The original method was advocating the storage of copies of the model on 
the view and updating of the model from the view, etc. which are bad.

I am not entirely sure if this is sufficient (part of me says "yes" -- 
it is very simple and straightforward) or whether it should be taken 
further to actually have a Model that broadcasts events when the model 
is changed (ie., full-on MVC). I know Christophe's got work in this area 
and I have talked with him about this and will do so again.

All the best,
Aral
