If you don't need to send the email immediately, you could just append the
mail to a file in unix mail format (not that hard, but watch those dates),
and then have a program run by some kind of cron utility (there are several
for the mac) that sends the email.

Another option that might work is tell Eudora to send the email for you; I
believe that it is scriptable.
