I am trying to set up an email that is sent out every Thursday to serve as a
reminder with out having to repeat the process every week. Is there a way to
perform this action?

Outlook does not have a built-in means of doing this. There are two
possible solutions.

1. Write a script that sends the message using VBScript. Schedule it
to run using Windows' built-in task scheduler. Outlook does not have to
be left running for the script to run. If you are using Outlook 2003 or
earlier, then there are security issues you'll have to deal with.

2. Write a script that sends the message using VBA. Create a second
script that is triggered by an Outlook task reminder. This script calls
the script that sends the message. Outlook will have to be left running
for this to work. As with the first option, if you are using Outlook
2003 or earlier, then there are security issues you'll have to deal with
for this to work.

Outlook has no inate ability to repeatedly send the same e-mail. Outlook is
extensible by adding VBA macro or installing add-ons; for example:

You can adapt this VBA example:
