     Not generally, because email is so PAINFULLY easy to do from the 
command line.  Try it:

     echo "cat /home/yourdir/email.txt | mail -S\"Subject\" 
recip at otherhost.com" | at 2100

     This will send your payload at the proper time, the next 2100 (9pm) 
that occurs.  You can also do other tricks.  Are you married?

     echo "'She\'s safe.' | mail -S"Notice" me at mysite" | at now + 28 days

     That was one fun use of Unix, back when I was married...  :)

     Although I think I remember seeing something about it in the repos; 
use the keyword "reminders".
