Enhancement: Assume a past time is meant to be sent tomorrow #191

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

Feature request:

When sending an email @8am, and it's already 9am, I would like the script to 
assume I meant '8am tomorrow', instead of '8am current day'.

So in general, as javascript:

deliver_at = new Date(timestamp_at_which_to_deliver);
now = new Date();
if (deliver_at < now) deliver_at = new Date(now.getYear(), now.getMonth(), 
now.getDay() + 1, deliver_at.getHours(), deliver_at.getMinutes(), 
deliver_at.getSeconds(), deliver_at.getMilliseconds()) ;

I forgot to mention: I appreciate you having written and shared this script, 
it's been very useful to me. Thanks.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for the suggestion and the thought that you put into the project.

The issue with adding a day would be cases like 'march'

It's currently 3/15/2015 but 'march' resolves to 'March 01 2015'.

So in this case we'd want to add 365 days to the date instead of one.

Although it's Sunday so I can't test this, I believe that if it were Monday and 
I typed 'Sunday' it would resolve to yesterday. So we'd need to add 7 days to 
the date in that case.

:-(

If I had time for a re-write I think I would get away from the entire 
date-parsing and use a calendar popup instead.

But thanks again for the thought and please let me know if you see a smart way 
to get around this.

Thanks!
-Blair
