Ok... so here's what I've found so far, and this may be sufficient. There's a package of scripts called Mail Scripts, which is freeware, that performs a number of tasks, one of which being email scheduling.
1. The email is created, and saved as a draft. 2. Launch the script, and assign a delivery date and time to the draft message. The date and time are stored with the message ID in iCal. 3. Message is delivered at the appropriate date and time if the computer is running, or if the computer is offline, the next time it comes back online. The email will stay in the drafts folder until it is actually sent. If the draft message is edited, the message ID will change and the schedule will need to be set up again. If anyone finds something a little more elegant, please let me know, but for now, I'm passing this along. Thanks! And since I didn't say it before (still sleepy!), thanks Ward!
