For some kind of lists, timed delivery would be nice, but you can do
this already, simply by using cron (say, mail to an alias that stuffs
messages into a file, then using cron, mail them to the list at a
given time). I'm not sure that this really buys a MLM a whole lot,
except complexity. for the very limited number of users who'd want
this, a couple of easy scripts and cron would do it.

Go take a closer look at MIME digests. That is, basically, what a
mime digest is, only more refined.
