How do I defer or send a message on a later date. I want the message to 
be sent next Monday.    Thanx

You cannot get Pine to do this automatically.

However you can do it semi-manually...

1.  Start composing your message now and get it all ready.

2.  DON'T type ^X (which would send the message immediately) but instead
    type ^O (Postpone).  This writes your still-being-worked-on message to
    a special folder.  Note: You can have several postponed several
    messages at a time, not just one.

Whenever you use the "C" (Compose) command Pine checks if there are any
messages in the special postponed messages folder and, if so, offers you
the chance to resume editing it.  So...

3.  At a later date give the "C" (Compose) command and resume editing your
    postponed message.

4.  Make any last minute changes that are needed.

5.  Send it by typing ^X (or cancel it with ^C, or postpone it again with
    ^O).

Cheers,
