  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

I routinely send business email such as invoices, proposals, and reports directly from FileMaker and wanted to delay delivery until normal business hours.
Only thing missing from this is holidays.

Nobody really reads mail at the end of the day so developed this function to schedule Emil on the next business day for my invoices.

It also delays sending the email for 10 min, allowing me to add a comment or additional information to the email.
