I really hope that someone can help me out here.

My wife uses Mac Mail at work (on OS X I think...) for sending press releases and things. We are both off on holiday in a few weeks, and my wife needs to be able to send certain emails on particular days.

For example, email "A" needs to be sent on the 28th May.

Is there any way to set Mac Mail up to do this? I'm not a Mac user myself, so i've been fairly useless. Searched around the net, to no avail.

Any help, advice, or shoves in the right direction, would be much appreciated :D
 
The only thing i could think of is apple's "Automator".

Its a simply program that you drag and drop items to create a flow chart of what you want the mac to automaticly do, such as always reply to an email with "XXX" or what ever.

Its simple enough to set up but i cant for the life of me find a way to get it start on its own. It always requiers user input. I havn't looked but i bet if you google for it you could find a 3rd party addition to Automator that could do what you want. Of corse this kinda relies on your wifes comp having the latest OS as thats the one with Automator on it.
 
Thats what I thought, but she wants to make sure they're sent on correct days if at all possible.

You'd think it would be possible, it's quite a simple task I would have thought. Doesn't look like it's going to be easy though.

If it's got OS X Tiger on it - it'll have Automator.

It would be very easy to make that Automator queue I would have thought - would only require a few options really.
