[Remind-Fans] newbie question

[Daniel Bosold]

to make a reminder show up before it's due date you must use a +NUMBER before MSG

the following will make the reminder show up 4 days before the 13th (+1):

   MSG march 5 2005  UNTIL March 13 2005 +4 MSG Timed reminder test

the following will make the message show up every day between the 5th and the 13th (*1)

   MSG march 5 2005 *1 UNTIL March 13 2005 MSG Timed reminder test

or combined will show the reminder before 5 march and every day between the 5th and 13th:

   MSG march 5 2005 *1 UNTIL March 13 2005 +1 MSG Timed reminder test

I have to admit to never using timed reminders, though.
