Don't use -n.  You want to use -p instead.

Generally speaking, if you want to filter Remind output with other
programs, you want to use the -p, -pp or -ppp output format, which
is designed for machine-parsing.

-n just prints the next occurrence of a reminder and it ignores any
sort options.  (This isn't documented in the manual, but probably
should be...)

Dianne.
