title: Scheduling an email to be sent 24 hours from now?
body: <p>I would like my app to be able to send a reminder email (or text) at various points in the future. I was thinking this might be doable with local notifications but now I am not seeing how. Any advice on a good strategy for making this happen? More details:</p>
  
  <p>I am building an iPhone app, using Xcode.  It is a small reminder app that will remind you to do something after a user-specified number of hours have passed.  So you could set a reminder for yourself to TiVo the donkey races in 11 hours, for example, and the app would send out that reminder via email.  I was hoping to keep the whole process within the phone. So the app would register an event (like a local notification) and use the Mail app to send the email.</p>
  
  <p>If I have to go the server route I can always set up cron jobs but I am hoping to avoid that, because then I need to worry about scaling to many users. AN iMessage or a tweet might be a good alternative if that is more realistic.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
