You could configure it to send to a local sendmail process instead of a
mail server (preferences-><account>->Sending Options->Server type). The
sendmail process would then send it on independantly of Evo according to
whatever schedule you set up. Of course you would lose the option of
catching something in Outbox before it had left Evo's hands, which is
sometimes useful :-)
