Ok. I think I was inaccurate in my wording. Let me rephrase this:

What I wanted is a way for someone to start a note, save it without signing it, and then for someone else to reopen the note and add to it, until eventually the MD signs it. I now understand that cannot be done in AC. What can be done is to forward the chart to someone's inbox and that temporarily saves it. Now if another person opens the chart of the same patient and starts another note, then we have 2 instances of of the chart at the same time which, as described above, is an undesirable situation. This, in my opinion, is defective way to handle notes, because forwarding the chart to someone else's box can still cause problems. There should be a way to save a note within a chart without signing it and without having to forward the chart to someone's box.

(Saying "a message with a chart" was inaccurate. I apologize.)
I hope I made myself a bit clearer.
Thanks for everyone's willingness to help.
