I periodically need to do something like this, although I use it for  
scheduling emails that will be repeated regularly. What I do is  
compose a message a message in Mail.app, ssave it as a draft, find  
the appropriate .emlx file and copy it to ~/email.txt, edit it in a  
text editor to remove the "Date:" header line, then set up a cron job  
to `cat ~/email.txt | sendmail -t`. I usually add a "CC:  
stroller at my.isp" line so I can check it worked. This may well be too  
fiddly & inconvenient for you, but it works.
