midnight

Schedule emails to be sent at a later time via at(1). For now, also depends on ripgrep.

Installation

The package is available from crates.io:

cargo install midnight

Then in your neomutt config, assign a macro to call the binary. Make sure it's in your path somewhere.

macro index,pager L "|midnight<enter>" "send later"

Usage

On the compose screen, use P to postpone the message. Then, go to your drafts folder, and use the macro your set above to schedule the message to be sent later.

Caveats

This software is in a beta release, and there are some quircks and missing features for the time being:

• No configuration options. If you want to change how the program invokes at, or ripgrep, for instance, you will have to change the source code for now.
• There is no state management, so there is no way to tell what job in atq correponds to what message in drafts.
• There is (effectively) no way to call the program from the compose menu in neomutt at the moment (which would be very useful).
• The program does not delete the message in drafts after the message is sent (however, the sent message will be displayed in your sent folder).

Building

git clone git@library.cat:rory/midnight
