I was explained that it is more for urgent email from certain people. Like if the owner emailed to my boss something that needed to be done it would pop up in his mail box vs. someone sending him an idiotic joke. To me it just seems like a crutch for someone who isn't doing their work in keeping up with email if that is part of their responsibilities.
I am not to know the true reason behind this, for whatever secretive reason, I know I know how ridiculous and how can I give someone what I don't know they want, but alas, this is where I am asking for advice for the gurus. You guys read minds right?

The bigger question for Avi to pose to his boss is what is to be accomplished here? Is it to track that a user is sitting at his/her desk? To ensure that emails get read? To ensure that tasks get done within 20 minutes? What is the business goal that is to be accomplished? Mebbe there is a better solution that can be offered instead of an email kludge. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Cornetet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 12:46 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > > I envision a solution like this: > > Boss points browser to a web server with a CGI app (perl, vb, > whatever) > where he enters a recipient (or picks a pre-entered recipient - that > would help ensure it wasn't abused) and types his message.
