It's almost always true that an email message that I write while pissed off should be saved as a draft rather than sent.

(This means I have a whole pile of pissy email in my draft folder, which is kind of cool as a historical reminder of what I was feeling at the time.)

Huh. It is also almost always true that an email message I write while pissed off should be saved as draft rather than sent.

Which, in my case, means I have a small pile of pissy email in my draft folder and a large pile of complicated fucked up processing email involving a lot of "Oh, shit, I'm really sorry, I really shouldn't have sent that" in my sent box.

Oh dear.

On the bright side, you're more willing to say that you're sorry about email than I am, so perhaps it balances out?

Yeah, I used to use one of the Unix command-line mailers, too. I think back then I both was much less aware of how much damage I could do with email on the one hand and more willing to fire up an editor within the mailer and save the edited file to some other file on the other.

Clunky (and not really conducive to systematic saving of aborted mail messages) but somewhat effective.

Understandable, and should be done by everyone, not just you...

But where would all the online drama be if they did?

(I know, I know, Twitter. :) )

Pfeh. Let the Twitter twats twitter about like the twits they are.
