Send an email tomorrow—or next week


runs as Online Service screenshot of DeferredSender
You've got a fancy system: the latest this and the greatest that. It can do just about anything you want. Except send an email tomorrow. Yeah, it's an important note you need to send out, and it's on your mind right this minute, but you really don't want it to go out until tomorrow, or next week, or even just an hour or two from now. Good luck with that.
DeferredSender is a free service that lets you send an email that won't get delivered until you want it to. Create your email with whatever tool you usually use—Outlook, Eudora, or any other desktop email client—or even your favorite online service, like Gmail, or Hotmail. Give your note a special address to get it to the DeferredSender folks, add a line or two of information about where you'd like your message to go and when you'd like it sent, and these guys take care of the whole remembering part. Through the wonder of modern technology, when your chosen time arrives, they send your email, and it looks like it came right from you. (If you dig through the headers, you'll see that it passed through their servers, but you've got to be really motivated to dig that deep.)
DeferredSender is a free service. You have to create a free account to use it, but it's really not any more complicated than that.
