Answers.Body: <p>I haven't verified this but you should be able to create your email in civimail and schedule it to send to the group with the send date set for the date next month. It should send to all in the group on that date. </p>

Answers.Text: Thank you; I tried this, but even using a Smart Group with the search criteria set on the group I want to target returns the same results – namely, only the group members in the group at the time of the scheduling receive the email.

Answers.Text: Just saw the same post. As a workaround solution, if the recipients join themselves the group through a form (ie opt-in) you could record an activity (as you are on drupal that's easy to accomplish with Webforms) when the form is submitted and use scheduled reminders based on that activity.

  Another option will be to use a Smart Group with the search criteria set on the Group you want to target.
  
  See [Smart Groups](http://book.civicrm.org/user/current/organising-your-data/smart-groups/) for details on how to set it up.
