Two question about the Send-Later feature:
- Does it support the Message Submission FUTURERELEASE extension (RFC
4865) if the message is being sent via a server that supports it?
No, I think I looked into it a long time ago, but I don't think I found
any servers supporting it -- or at least very few as you also state. I
decided my time was better spent on something that would work with any
SMTP server :)
- I haven’t played with it much, but I did set a message to be sent
at a specific time “tomorrow” which was accepted, but when I
happened to check a few hours past that time, with MailMate running
and connected, it still showed as “tomorrow” even though it was
now what was “tomorrow” when I set it. I simply sent the message
immediately, instead of playing with it to see if “tomorrow” would
never resolve to “today” but was forever in the future.
The relative “tomorrow” value is not very specific and might not be
handled very well by MailMate. In any case, if you look in the Drafts
mailbox then the pending column should show you a value which is likely
to be stated as “hours”. Re-editing (Cancel Send and Edit) re-uses
the original string and therefore this would make it “tomorrow”
again.
The “Send Later” feature is in the category of being far from
perfect, but “good enough” for many purposes.
Perhaps little known fact: If you enter an “illegal” value in the
Send Later field and then try to send anyways then a date/clock
interface is shown allowing you to set a date using the mouse.
