When our users have question they send it to an alias that gets exploded
to each of the Admins.  So we each get a copy of the message.  We then run 
into the problem of not knowing who is going to answer the question, without
asking each other in person.  It would be nice if there was someway we could
"check-out" a question to answer to eliminate the confusion.

Does anyone have any ideas, or is anyone currently doing something like
this???  I would imagine this situation is not unique.
