Deferred e mail delivery

[Nick]

For reasons too tortuous to explain I want to compose and send an e mail to three people, but want it delivered about 48 hours after I press the Send button. Anyone (Tel?) know of a way to do this?

[Barman]

Wot mail software are you using like...?

[Nick]

I presently have BTInternet and a Gmail account, but am happy to set up another address.

I've no idea then...

If you had Outlook there is a 'Don't send before...' option.... like...

[Nick]

I have Outlook 2010 installed like

Okay...

Click New for a new mail, fill in the recipients as normal...

Then click Options in the e-mail itself 9not the Outlook main screen).

Then check the 'Do not deliver before' box and select the date and time you want it delivered...

Of course, your Alibi has now been blown.... 

[Nick]

Ta, setting up a new Hotmail account now and will let you know if it werks!

[Barman]

Of course it bleddy werks!

I can't help but think that in a few hours time I'll regret ever replying tho....

More importantly ...where are you going to be in 48 hours 

[Nick]

Who?

[Barman]

You of course spongehead! 

[Miss Demeanour]

You ya muppet -  if you are not going to be able to send it in 48 hours. Otherwise surely you would just email it then  

[Nick]

That's the tortuous bit. And it isn't the next 48 hours anyhoo.
