Development of Paul's script and mine were mostly independent, I think.  I wanted a 
script that would help me clean up my inbox -- the "postpone" part was the result of 
that.  About that time somebody asked on the list for a delayed-send script, and I 
realized that my postpone script could almost do the delayed sends already.  It was a 
natural extension.

I don't exactly remember how much Paul helped with that particular script, but I know 
my 100+ scripts would never have come into being without Paul.  I was going to list 
him as co-author on a bunch of them, but he refused.  =)

Nope, it won't automatically do repeat sends.  My script is pretty simple; it doesn't 
create any copies, it just moves messages and changes received-dates.  If you want to 
do repeat sends with mine, I'd suggest duplicating the draft message a few times and 
varying the delay on the sends.

(As a note, I think much of the reason why Paul's script is more complex than mine is 
that I think he creates folders with the send-date as the name.  My script puts all 
postponed/delayed send messages into a "Postponed" folder, and uses the date received 
field as the date to act on.  I like my way because it's easier to go back and find a 
message you've postponed since they're all in one place, but your date received field 
gets overwritten;  I've only ever cared about the date-sent, so it wasn't a big deal 
to me, and for draft messages the date received field is unused by 'rage.  It's handy 
because you can show and sort-on the date-received column, which tells you when it's 
going to be sent/moved to the Inbox.  Paul's scripts don't modify the date received 
field.)

Yes.
