That is a Lookout function. Several other email clients provide that
"feature" as well.

It would not be difficult to do with cron and a little bit of Perl. I
suspect there are a few examples already published somewhere. Have you
tried searching Google?

Subject: Delay in sending email via Perl

        Within Outlook, one can create an email and then not send it
until a date and time has been met. Can this also be done via Perl and
either Sendmail or Sender? I looked at the doc and did not see anything
about delay of sending. Found delay on retires, etc., but nothing on
delay in actually sending the email.

        I am trying to verify if can be done or is this something that
Outlook is handling itself in some procedure itself???
