Ask HN: How do I send an email to myself that I will receive in 10 years?
I want to give myself a long term reminder. I think email is the best way to do it. Google Calendar is another way. But calendar seems less open.

I use followup.cc.
But realistically, to assume any website will be around in 10 years is probably a bit risky. I'd set up a reminder in a couple of years reminding you to reevaluate whatever service your using in regard to it's longevity (and set up another two-year reminder).

if i had to guess what service will still be around in 10 years .. i would guess google calendar, create an event and reminder.
Service-agnostic options are best.
Have a lobbyist slip a line item in a bill requiring the government to e-mail you your message or else give you a sizeable tax break. :P

I use Boomerang for Gmail. You can the email, save it first. Then schedule to it to be delivered to your list of addresses at a specific time.
hmm, you can create a reminder in google calendar..
