Thanks - yes, I had missed that these were replies to emails sent by Mona. I read it at first that T was sending emails late at night just off her own bat - that would worry me! I guess when it's in response to something that was sent by the client it's more like sorting out the business of the day as you say, some people do that late.
I realise it may be ok for some people but I think personally it would still worry me. When I was working as a teacher I saw a lot of people burn out and then go long term sick. Some never returned to teaching and some never returned to work at all. In that situation I remember that late-night emails were a bad sign. But yes maybe it works fine for some people.
