There's no way to get at the "10 jan 2011" part of the REM command
because the *1 ensures that trigdate() will always be today (or in the
future.)

You'll need something like this:

REM 10 Jan 2011 *1 +14 MSG ['2011-01-10' -today()] Do this %a
REM  2 Feb 2011 *1 +14 MSG ['2011-02-02' -today()] Do that %a

Ugly... but it works.
