Exactly. The example I use when I teach the class is an e-mail to the
entire company letting them know there are donuts in the staff lounge.
Obviously anybody who hasn't read that message by the end of the day
probably doesn't care so I advise them to set it to expire at close of
business or the next morning in an effort to help keep folks mailboxes
clean.
