[Remind-Fans] Piping to Remind

[jeff fisher]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting remind to accept input from a pipe.

For example, this works fine:

echo "REM Jan test" > ~/.reminders; remind ~/.reminders

but this won't

echo "REM Jan test" | remind


Is this not possible, or am I missing somthing? I'm using bash on Mac OS X 
10.4.

thank you
