It'll work in the next update (quick fix) - just in case ;-)

I should note that the feature is not as robust as it should be. The 
send later “value” does not survive if the local database index is 
lost. In other words, the email I scheduled to be sent to myself in 10 
years (as a test) is unlikely to ever actually be sent. It would be 
surprisingly tricky to make the feature robust without introducing the 
risk of sending a message multiple times (not a quick fix).
