7th November 2000
Where were you on the night of July 26th? As far as any of your online buddies know, you were sitting diligently in front of your monitor, composing e-mail messages. Or so you would have them believe. You receive e-mail; you send e-mail. But did you know those outgoing transmissions could be delayed? Start a new message in Outlook 2000, choose your recipients, compose the communiqué, but before sending the e-mail on its merry way, select 'Options' in the View menu. In the Delivery options section, select a date and time from the 'Do Not Deliver Before' field. As long as you send and receive incoming messages without intervention, it'll leave the Outbox whenever you tell it to do so. Note the other useful features in the 'Option' dialog; change the 'reply to' address, set a read receipt, change the message's importance, or send it through another account.
