Test-Driven Development?
We’ve been thinking about moving Mrs. H’s email off of Comcast. So we set up the new account, and are facing the problem of how to handle mail being sent to the old address. Well, we decided that it would work well to set up a filter that would copy email sent to the old address into the new mailbox and send an email reply. We get the new rule to work with one mail. For some reason I bring the rule editor back up to look at something. This time, on my way out, when I’m asked if I want to apply the rule to open mailboxes, I select “Yes”…
I was reminded of the need to test before putting something into production.
To everyone that got 1-100 messages talking about a new email address, I’m sorry.

is that like measuring twice and cutting once vs measuring once and cutting 100 times?
i just got one email, so no worries.
Or like eyeballing the piece of wood and cutting where it “looks right”, or maybe more like “quit jumping on the bed.”
Or like “better safe than sorry”?
