Description
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.
#1
Right now there is no cron integration or anything but it is definitively possible. Lets put this to the "nice to have features" list :)

http://drupal.org/project/addressbook is worth looking at for ideas

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.
#6
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.
