This is not strictly a Ubuntu question, but has anyone come across an add-on
or a script for an email client that helps you send an email at a preset
date and time. So, I could write the email today but automatically send it
three days from now at 9 am.

'at' will run any program at the specified time + date - lots of options too.

open a terminal, type

at now +3 days

You'll get a '>' prompt - type

mail -s "Subject" email@address < path/to/file/with/mail/message.txt

then a period on a line all on it's own to end input.

kmail or evolution will let you send mail from the commandline too -
check they're man pages.

PS cron would work too of course - it's just not as handy
