Exchange Connector 3.0 RTM - Wrong action log type (user comments are sometimes analyst comments)

Question

Hi,
We started using Service Manager a few days ago and I'm noticing some strange behavior from the Exchange connector. Sometimes when a user replies to an e-mail, it get's added as an "Analyst comment", also the private checkbox has a dot in it (not
blank or checked, but a dot..)
In this screenshot user "Marwan" is a regular user, replying to us via email...
Any ideas?

Today there already is intelligence that checks if the recipient == affected user. I am merely suggesting to rewise and/or extend this logic
As I wrote, I see two possible ways here. The easy and the hard (optimal) way. The easy way would be to turn it around, meaning all comments = End-User comments unless it's coming from the Assigned User. So the check would be on the Assigned User instead
of the Affected User as it is today. I understand that some people might complain about this, and might have adapted to the current solution, so it should be optional. In my experience I just see this as more suitable for the customers needs. Well if the source
code could be released it would make it easier to make custom adjustments, e.g. change the Private boolean value to false etc. ;)
The hard optimal way would be to add more options for deciding when it's an Analyst and when it's an End-User. Of course the Exchange connector can't figure that out, but if it did comparison to preselected groups or perhaps User Roles (e.g. if recipient
is Incident Resolver and not affected user => analyst comment). 
In any case it's an interesting discussion with many aspects, but one thing is for certain: the exchange connector is unfinished. Not broken, just lacking options. Today people are making alot of custom workflows and even their own connectors to accommodate
for these issues.
