The pause that refreshes

One problem with email is that it's *too* fast. Chris Sells describes how to set up an automatic pause before email is sent (e.g., 1 or more minutes), which is pretty straightforward (http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/#savingYourCareer)

If you use Outlook XP, the procedure works like this:

  • Tools->Rules Wizard
  • New
  • Start From A Blank Rule
  • Check messages after sending
  • Which condition(s) do you want to check? -> None
  • This rule will be applied to every message you send. Is this correct? -> Yes
  • What do you want to do with this message? -> defer delivery by a number of minutes
  • a number of minutes -> 2
  • Finish
