Of course this would be annoying for every mail that we send, but as it is limited to late email sent on week end this feature might be useful:

Warren Buffet questioned about the financial crisis actually in the US by CNNMoney.com gave this wise answer:
“I don’t worry too much about pointing fingers at the past,” he said.
“I operate on the theory that every saint has a past, every sinner has a future.”

In search of an online Tickler system

A tickler file is presented as a key tool for organization in David Allen’s book Getting things Done. I’m searching for an electronic version of this system. And so far I didn’t find anything that give full satisfaction. The 2 tools I found are email notification in the future:
- iTickleMe: Email Follow-Up Reminders. Here how it works:
1. Register your email addresses with iTickleMe Email Follow-Up Reminder Service
2. Create an email to anyone, or even to yourself
3. Now here’s the trick:
If you want the email to return to you in 1 day:
Send or Copy it to 1d@poingo.comIf you want the email to return to you in 2 weeks:
Send or Copy it to2w@poingo.comIf you want the email to return to you in 3 months:
Send or Copy it to 3m@poingo.com
- GMail - GTD Tickler: Adds ‘Tickle me’ link for each message in message view. And of course it’s dedicated to gmail.
I will provide some feedback once I will use those tools for some time.
