Permanent Substitution (was: Forward work items of user A to user B)

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Jim,
By permanent substitution, do you mean to assign a substitute on an
indefinite timeframe?
I was going to ask the list about this idea anyway: To assign a
permanent substitute this way would let the substitute control the
substitution. This could be good if someone calls in sick, the sub just
has to activate and gain access to the inbox. Could be bad as it
requires the subst to actually be proactive enough to do so.
 
Does anyone else use this strategy? Is there something I may have
overlooked?
 
Cheers
Mike
