PMs Sitting in the Outbox for Hours
Just curious, is it typical for PMs to sit in the outbox for many hours after sending? All of mine seem to do that, sometimes staying in the outbox overnight.
Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.

Brad - The PM will sit in the outbox till the recipient opens the message. So if you PM a person who never opens their PMs, it will sit there forever!

What Peder said. That offers several advantages. You have a defacto "read receipt" mechanism, of course, but you also have the opportunity to edit or recall a message you later felt needed such attention.

Aaahhh.
That makes sense now. Am I the only one who didn't know that?

Doubt it. I had to ask, too.

Actually, all PMs are sent to a printer in an undisclosed location in the Gorge. Tom hikes to the printer, picks it up, and hand-carries them back to his house, re-typing them for the recipient (after making carbon copies for various government organizations). Sometimes it takes him overnight, but we are working on that.

No wonder that Tom only rarely has time to do "real" hikes!Martell wrote:Actually, all PMs are sent to a printer in an undisclosed location in the Gorge.
