feature-request: delayed sms sending, and other sms special codes

GSM has the ability to send sms with delayed delivery.

This is done through codes preceeding the phone number, but since in jolla, you have a threaded view for each contact (which is good), you're not able to send a delayed sms while keeping it in the same thread. Also copying a contacts phone number and modifying it would be a PITA.

So my suggestion is this:

implement a simple interface(probably in the message type dialog) to send a specific sms with a given delay, and then send the sms with the proper pre-number codes.

P.S. other features are also available in the GSM spec, and would also be usefull to implement in the same dialog, such has anonymous sms, etc.

I also need this from time to time.

It would also be ok if the delay would be done at the OS level. Basically, being able to set a time and a date when the sms should be sent, instead of sending it immediately.

An example would be if you want to make sure you send a reminder, but it's not an appropriate time to do so.
