I think this is the best option thus far. Showed it to him and he seems pleased with it but still "can't" tell me what he will be using this for. Any way to have this automatically set like every time he sends a message it will automatically include a follow up prompt let's say every 20 minutes after the email is sent? I am beginning to believe my boss is a spammer.
