delayed send?

Can I set the properties of an email message object so the delivery
happens in, say, 2 hours? I tried the flagdue property but I don't
think it worked. I know I can do it in Exchange by going to options
and selecting 'dont send before 2pm', then the exchange server sends
the email at the time I specified. How can I duplicate this behaviour
in VBA?
 
Take a look at the MailItem.DeferredDeliveryTime
property.

Thanks, I used it and it kinda works. I say 'kinda' because it
creates a message to be sent at the time I specified it, but if I
close Outlook before it is sent, it's not sent (remains in the
outbox). Is it Outlook who sends it at the specified time or Exchange?
I would like it to be Exchange (i.e. I run the macro and go home,
then at night it sends it without my Outlook being open)
 
Thanks it worked. When I changed the macro it didn't work, but I
logged out of Outlook and reopened it, then I tried it again with a
new message, closed Outlook, and with it closed the message went thru
at the specified time :)
So thanks!
