What you're describing is fine. It doesn't require me to write emails twice (one that goes to /dev/null and gets instructions, then the re-email with the special don't-delete-me-bro code that makes it go through).
Just keep my first email and have your auto responder let me know that you're not reading email until <date>.
- kbutler 15y agoWould you actually write the email twice? Your sent folder should let you trivially re-send it with the "urgent" flag if you care. "Keep the email" is fine if almost all of them will need attention in two weeks. What percentage of email he receives will be important enough in two weeks to demand part of his attention during those overloaded first day(s) back? I think the affirmative filter is a great idea - "I won't be able to help with this for two weeks, and then I'm going to be really busy for a few days. Please confirm that this is something that will need my time in two weeks."
