I got a reply off-list, that my answer should be off-topic, so I guess
I need to explain more detailed.

Once a mail e.g. is saved as draft, it's possible to get the complete
mail by an action.

Selecting a mail and applying an action with the %f variable could save
the mail ready to send by the msmtp command and e.g. add a cron job.
This requires a short script.

Yes, Claws doesn't provide an option by default, but my guess is, that
giving the hint, how to solve this issue using Claws features isn't
off-topic.

Since I'm short in time, I don't provide a scrip, but hopefully this
hint is helpful.
