Issue Summary
Could a date to send field be added so that a message can be sent, perhaps on cron jobs, on a specific date, through perhaps cron jobs. Ideal for delayed card sending on Christmas, Valentines, Birthdays etc.

Right now there is no cron integration or anything but it is definitively possible. Lets put this to the "nice to have features" list :)

More detailed task description:
Add an option to the backend for activate delayed sending that the form shows a optional date / time picker. If a date is chosen the ecard will be delayed and sended through hook_cron. So far so good. The problems is wich time picker to use? I could make this feature depend on some other module as I don't want to implement a date picker 1.000 time.

I'm in favour of making a dependency and not re-implementing the wheel :) as long as it's an optional dependency, and not required for the entire module.
#7
I chatted on german irc a bit about this and I will try to use the jquery.ui library and module.

This is a very important feature of ecard. Infact ecard has no practical utility without this.
Ecard is not ecard without this.
Any progress on this feature?

Hi
the current problem with ecard is that it really needs simpletests. After this I will create a new version. But ofcourse you are always invited to implement this and write a patch :)
I leave the status as major as I believe this is a quite important feature.
#10
Still applies.
