Email reference



I started composing this yesterday, and changed my mind, and now I've
decided to post it anyway.  (I'm not confused, just indecisive.  Or not.)

Anyway, I did think of one reason why an email response (as the poor woman
whose auto-reply unintentionally started this whole thing) might say a flat
"3-week" turnaround.  If she's running a one-person shop, there might
naturally be a 3-week period if she took a well-deserved vacation.  There's
no point in any other auto-response if you're the whole staff, and without
you there nothing whatsoever will happen.  I admit that perhaps she could've
stated "I'll be away and the place is closed", but a) she already
apologized, and b) we'd have nothing to talk about.
