TIA. This really isn't a function of Listserv, per se. What you need to do is compose a message and save it in a text file on the system you use for email, then set up a scheduled request under the operating system you use when you read your email. This request simply sends out the message at the appointed time. How to do this specifically depends on the operating system you use, your email software, and the availability of scheduling software on your sytem. On Unix, which is what I use for email, I just set up a crontab entry to accomplish this. Its a very trivial thing. I have no idea how someone would do this on Windows NT or Windows 98, which I am guessing you use.
