Summary

  • Adds "When You Can't Reach the Other Person" section to the "Do you know when to NOT send an email?" rule
  • Adds Daniel Mackay to the rule's authors list

Changes

The existing rule defines a draft → call → adjust → send workflow for delicate situations, but doesn't address what happens when the call can't be made. This adds a short escape-hatch section so readers know not to stay blocked indefinitely, with a boxEmbed good-example snippet showing how to note the attempted call at the top of the draft before sending.

Test Plan

  • Frontmatter validator passes for the updated file
  • On the staging render, new section appears between "Dealing with Delicate Situations" and the closing image
  • boxEmbed renders with greybox style and "Good example" prefix
  • Daniel Mackay shows in the authors list on the rendered page

The existing delicate-situations workflow (draft → call → adjust → send)
doesn't cover what to do when the call can't happen. Adds a short
"When You Can't Reach the Other Person" section so readers know not
to stay blocked, with a good-example snippet noting the attempted
call at the top of the draft before sending.

Also adds Daniel Mackay as an author.
