Schedule Mail.app to send an Email in the future

Hey everyone, I want to send an email in the future, for marking an anniversary of a friends daughters passing away. I Don't want to miss it and I don't want to have to compose a message last minute. I want to compose it NOW. Is there a script or something I can use to make Mail.app send the mail via my Gmail IMAP at a specified time?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Here are a couple of links to scripts you can download and schedule a draft message to be sent...

Yesterday's Mac OS X 10.9.1 date did indeed brake SendLater (and a couple other ChungaSoft Mail plugins I use. No update available on their website (or acknowledgement for that matter). Undoubtedly theyre aware of it and hopefully they'll fix soon. Would have been nice if, as a developer who undoubtedly has access to developer previews, if they had the updates available to coincide with the release.

I don't mean to resurect an old thread but I downloaded the Mail Plugin Manager (by ChungwaSoft) before trying SendLater and experienced a pop-up advertisement. I'm worried the file might have been infected or something, but I can't seem to find any evidence that this company is bad or has a record of this. Have any of you been experiencing problems since this discussion?


I just downloaded Clam Scan to be safe, and have Secure Empty Trashed the files I downloaded. So worried!
