Mail Client w/ "Send Later" Feature?

Are there any mail clients that have a working send later feature?  What I want to be able to do is have emails go out at a specified time.  A lot of clients that I've tried (Thunderbird, Balsa, and Claws Mail thus far) have the ability to "postpone" a message, but all this does it set it in a folder until I manually send it.  I want the sending initiated automatically.

Some GTK based would be nice though it isn't a requirement.  I'd also like to avoid dragging in a crapload of dependencies (such as installing all of KDE for one app...).  So, thoughts?

Or you could use a sendEmail script:

I'm not sure if I understand your objectives correctly, but I'd prefer client-agnostic solution: local MTA (I think the simplest one with queue is NullMailer, but I like Exim), that by default only queues mail and flushes it on demand (cronjob, user intervention...). No support in client is needed and you can use whatever you like.
