Outlook email time sent

[LAmanb]

Hi there,
Perhaps a simple question - but I know how to delay messages in outlook - thru options I simply set the time for the message to be sent. However, when I use this, the message received posts the time I actually sent the message instead. That is - if at 8pm I set the message to be sent at 9am the next day, the message indeed is sent only at 9am, but the time sent on the message in the other side would say 8pm. How can I have the time sent to show the time I set the message to be sent?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, for your simple question, the answer is also simple. You can't.

The complicated answer is that you can run a fairly simple script which will send the email at the time, or scheduled times, you want to send them.
It sounds hard, but is actually quite easy.

1. Download AspSmartMail
2. Write a script which sets the objects to the required To, From, CC, Body, attachments, etc. (you can use the examples without changing anything, they're quite easy to follow).
3. Start a Schedule task to run the vbs script at 9am the following day.
