Hi,

Sorry.  It is NOT a bug in Remind.  It's been a long while since I have
used advanced features of Remind, and I'm rusty...

A local "OMIT" clause can only contain weekdays.  So the proper way to
do the reminder is as follows:

# Labor day is a holiday:
OMIT 3 Sep 2001

# Or more fancily...  This works for any year, not just 2001.
REM Mon 1 Sep SCANFROM [trigger(today()-7)] SATISFY 1
OMIT [trigger(trigdate())]

# Now for the reminder:
REM Mon 1 SKIP PRIORITY 1000 TAG nbpoly MSG Poly Support

# And the special case
REM 10 Sep PRIORITY 1000 TAG nbpoly MSG Poly Support

David.
