1) Add a 15 minute 'tdelta' to any reminders that you want advance
   warning for, e.g.

      REM Nov 27 2006 AT 14:00 +15 MSG %"Do something%" %1

2) Launch a background Remind process in "daemon mode" and tell it to
   send triggered reminder messages to 'mail':

      remind -z -k'echo "%s" | mail -s "reminder" username' ~/.reminders &    

This is untested, but I think that should do it.
