Except I don't want anything to happen when the file is 
'created/deleted/modified.' That would result in it being sent too soon, i.e. 
immediately after closing the file. After a delay, I want to mail it at a 
specific time if it exists.

Here is specifically what I'm trying to recreate. MozillaSuite used to have a 
feature where one could send an email at a specific time in the future. Used to 
be there. Not there in Thunderbird. You can "Send Later", but it'll send the 
next time you "Send and Receive". I tried using the Send Later addin, but the 
interface sucks and it doesn't work. I set the time for 2 minutes later to test 
it, click it's button, and the mail just sits there.
