Outlook 2002

[Guest]

Can you "schedule" a message to be sent? (i.e. in the future).

In the past I worked with an e-mail message system that allowed you to set a
"send" date. If I had a recurring reminder message to be sent to a group of
people, I could set it to send an e-mail to those people every Thursday -
automatically. Is this possible in Outlook 2002?

Thank you.

Yes, but you have to leave Outlook running so that when the time comes, the
message can be sent. When you compose your message (assuming Outlook's
editor and not Word, since I don't use Word as the editor), click
View>Options. There will be a "Do not deliver before" check box.
