Not cron. (Unless RHEL's cron spits out emails that look like at's? I've
never seen a job ID number in a cron email.)

On HP-UX:
List scheduled jobs:
at -l [job-id ...]
at -l -q queue
On Debian:
atq [-V] [-q queue]

Then you should have about 10 intervals per day to find a scheduled job.
(Hint: do it as whoever's receiving the e-mail.)
You could also try to find the place on disk where the at jobs live.
It might be /var/spool/at (RH 5.2) or /var/spool/cron/atjobs (Debian 5.0,
HP-UX 10.20), or somewhere else entirely.
