Abstract: An electronic mail message system includes a database storing user information and electronic mail messages, and logic programmed to manage the content of the database, schedule the mailing of a delayed electronic mail message based on input from a remote user, and send one or more reminders to the remote user. The reminders indicate to the remote user the identity of the delayed electronic mail message stored in the database and when the delayed electronic mail message is scheduled for mailing or the fact that the delayed electronic mail message is not scheduled for mailing. Optionally, the electronic mail message is printed and delivered by post to the recipient in lieu of or in addition to the electronic mail.
