[spambayes-dev] RE: [Spambayes] Outlook Envelope Tray Icon

[Chris Dellario]

Because, unfortunately, some of us have co-workers (boss, boss's boss,
any number of department heads, etc) who expect us to have read an email
a few minutes after they've sent it.  Those of us who have the privilege
of working offset are often expected to reply sooner than others to
"prove" that we're working.

What about mail delivered to unwatched folders? What about mail 
delivered to watched and unwatched folders in the same batch? Why do 
people feel they need to drop everything and read an email when it comes
in?
