I find myself making todo notes for emails that I need to send after Jan. 1. Because sending them now will just wind up in people's "dig out bucket", and I actually want to pause a bit before sending things.
Do I want this for times other than Xmas? I suspect it would useful for people who are trying to establish time boundaries for when they expected to answer email: They could avoid posting work email on the weekend (or outside 9-5) until the next work time period. (and actually, this email should be in that list...) This somehow fits into how I do Gettings Things Done. I was thinking whether it was worth having some mechanism where I would write an email, get it all ready to send (including GPG signing it in mh-e), but keep in a numbered/dated draft directory and then send it on the appropriate day. I think that this would involve an alternate post program; I haven't thought at all about how I'd control that. ** I just thought I'd ask if there were other people who might have such a need ** On a related (organizationally, but technically probably orthogonal) note, I have been thinking that it would be nice if nmh supported responding to Disposition-Notification-To: headers somehow. What I also really want is to be able to mark an email as needing responding to, and to keep the outgoing content in some list (a folder with a -link to +outgoing) as having been not responded to. If I keep the outgoing email in my inbox, it kinda works, but then it clutters my inbox :-) Ideally, the acknowledgement to the Disposition-Notification-To would get matched back to that email, but also any incoming In-Reply-To/References would linked up. Basically, I want TCP ACKs for email. It would also be nice if I could better link up bounce messages so that stuff in my "Waiting for Others" list could bump back up. Gmail does this right. (Maybe Thunderbird does too now) But, if I wanted to use a search engine in a browser for my email, I'd be doing that :-) ps: I've been watching a ton of youtube videos from the 8-bit guy. http://www.the8bitguy.com/ many of you are of a similar technical age as me. I am considering whether teaching my 14-year old programming on the C-64 would make sense.
