In previous teams I worked on, I've often had to send out long emails or documents because someone got on my back over an artificial deadline. I would send it and make sure that an important link in the document was broken. If they didn't notice it, they didn't need the document/email urgently and usually get to hear a lecture from me later on arbitrary deadlines.

The behavior behind the need for your checks is something that irks me. Because you can send one-off thoughts via email many people assume that all emails are just one-offs.
