To me this sounds like it might be very annoying.
 
You send me a message while I was away, when I get back and start going
through my emails, I read and reply to yours.
 
Then as I get to the end of my email, I get the same email from you again.
 
Sending me the second email isn't going to get you a faster response, and
maybe no response if you keep doing it.
 
I realize there is a chance I did miss your message, and you would have to
remind me a second time, but if you automate this it sounds like it could
cause problems, like people thinking you are very impatient.
 
not to mention all the extra waste of bandwidth with duplicate messages
 
IMHO

Subject: [Slightly OT] General Email Question


Do any OS email clients have the ability to schedule the sending of an
email? For example, I send an email to someone and get an out of office
response. I would like to schedule resending my email when the person is
back in the office, particularly when he/she will be out of the office for
several days or weeks.

 
i checked with the gmail web interface, and it does not have this feature
according to the help pages. Anyone know how to do it in gmail?
 
Thanks!
