One of the features of the UNIX tool cron is that it can be told to send an email each time it runs a job. I have never done that but. . .

man cron
man crontab      in Terminal or a BBEdit worksheet for more.

Basically you set up a cron table which says run a job, that could be an AppleScript application, each day at 0600 and let cron pipe output of the application into an email addressed the way you want it.
