TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Maybe the email software should know (from your calendar?) that you
are going away from the office, and that you'd like to set up an OOO
away message, and to automatically set your list memberships to
NOMAIL.
I'd buy it.
Maybe software should arrive from the factory personalized, with
personalized options, too, for every individual.
But, in the meantime, I'm curious to see a handcount of who's using
Nomail when they are out of office and not checking list mail, and who
uses autoresponse and doesn't use Nomail, etc.
