Nick Burns, your company's computer guy

I always find it odd that the IT guys at work send out emails like this...

We will be performing maintenance routines on that particular server at 12:30PM today. Therefore, we ask that you save any open draft messages and close your Outlook program. The process will take approximately 15 minutes. We will send a notification when the routine has been completed. Thank you for your cooperation.

If everyone has to close Outlook, how are they going to receive the email notification that the server is back up?
