85148 2002-10-01 21:38:00 My daughter got an Email from one of her acquaintences in Australia. He was not a happy chappie. His message came from Hotmail & he said he had it set to autosend after he had done what he threatened. We are a bit concerned & not sure what to do next. In the Email he more or less blamed her. Any comments much appreciated.
Pauline.

85149 2002-10-01 21:42:00 Hi. Your question's a little vague. Could you elaborate on what the actual problem is, eg blamed her for what? Greg S (201)

85152 2002-10-01 23:01:00 Can you auto send later on hotmail?

With all the bleating about hotmail, there should be someone here with a hotmail account?

Perhaps someone could have a looksee to find out if this medium-tech guilt trip is technicly possible?

85153 2002-10-01 23:03:00 OeX - Send Later... Works with hotmail too shouldn't it???

Set the prog to load up a t a set time an it'll auto send/receive! Dont see why it wont work with hotmail compared to a regular email.

85154 2002-10-01 23:04:00 Now you just need to tell us what he threatened... It might be serious, might not be! Chilling_Silence (9)
85155 2002-10-01 23:13:00 Ok, so send later could clearly be done with a hotmail address if it was sent from the users computer.

But can it be done as a setting within hotmails web interfacel, such as if it was sent from an email café?

85156 2002-10-01 23:25:00 AFAIK Hotmail has an auto respond (holiday message) I have a hotmail acct but never touch the damn thing...

Sorry, what was the question again?

85157 2002-10-01 23:36:00 SoniKalien,
With hotmail is it possible to cruise of to the nearest email café and write something that sits for a day or what ever and then sends itself automaticly?

This will tell you where it came from, and who it went through. If it came from the users computer it show here have a look, it will offer clues as to if this was a delayed send or not.
