Daily Email Request

Post by Dvixen » 03 May 12 10:39 am

Is it possible to have the email not be sent if there are no caches nearby? I keep getting empty emails and would love to have a 'only email me if content' option to click. :)

Yesterday was abnormal, but putting that aside, no.

Was worth a check. Back to the drawing board for a gmail filter. :)

The simple reason (which I did not explain is).

Get an empty email -> Get complaints about not wanting an empty email.
Don't get an empty email -> Get complaints that "we don't know if it's missing".

I can't win, so we go with the "proof" of an empty email rather than complains / questions every day asking if the email was empty or did not get sent.

You see my dilemma?

I know thats what I said when we discussed the requirements, but now that Ive seen what you've developed, I realise that its not what I want after all.
