Link: Hide autoresponders
But it’s that time of year where we start seeing a ton of autoresponders and it’s got me thinking about it again. Personally, I don’t care to see them ever. I literally don’t care in any context. Hit me back when you hit me back, I’m not going to read what your autoresponder says anyway.
Yes!
There are some cases where an autoresponder can be useful. If you’re working with someone, it can be helpful to know that they won’t get to this for a few days (so you shouldn’t wait for a reply), or if they’ll be gone for a long time and you should speak to someone else.
I’ve also enjoyed some regularly updated autoresponders, too.
Maybe there’s a middle-ground. Perhaps your inbox checks the autoresponder to see if you’ve had that exact message before, then hides it?
