<p dir="auto">That clarifies, thanks.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think that works for at least some of the things I have. When it's one or two messages, that seems to work well. When it's, say, 15 interrelated messages, I'm less sure. I'll have to experiment.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks!</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm not sure I see the idea. It would be to forward the emails to myself on that date? Or to write the responses earlier and send them on the date? The latter wouldn't work for me -- often the waiting for a certain date is because that's when I'll have information I need. But the former might -- I'll have to think about that. Or do you have something else in mind?</p>

<p dir="auto">Totally different idea: sent a response to yourself later. In your email compose window, you can select the "Send Later" header:</p>
