I'm definitely in favor of RAW, in this case it definitely helps me, since
the depot chain can be broken this way, while "moving on to juicier
targets...)

    I would vote in favor of JJ's proposed house rule.  But I do recall that

in the past, someone sent orders and then continued moving when he learned 
that a depot garrison had retired.  So there is precedent for following the 
rules as written, despite the additional emails required.
