That wouldn't work, because -runUntilDate: works differently from what I
expected. Instead of just setting the date when to stop running, it will
actually *wait* (aka 'block') until the given date has been reached.

Nevertheless thanks for your hints. Based on that I did figure out how to
solve the problem by just adding another timer to the runloop that fires at
a certain time, calling a method that will stop the runloop and sending the
note. Easy as that :-}
