RE: A big brother moment? email reminders of what you haven't done

[<Brian -dot- Henderson -at- mitchell1 -dot- com>]

It's one thing to stay aware of a "guests" behavior in your "home", and
quite another to (secretly?) enable a letter, sent to another, to "phone
home" with the news that the recipient has opened it (or not...when
there's an absence of news).

But maybe that's just me.

One of the periodicals I take as digital-only sends me a notice when it 
is available, then reminders every week or so until I download it or 
read it.

It's their choice, and email is cheap. So is the delete key. And, it
helps me actually remember to read it.

ymmv
