The original poster wanted lines cut at the final %.  So if you have:

    REM Monday MSG I hate %"Mondays%"   %

then Remind would be fed:

REM Monday MSG I hate %"Mondays%"

So here's a Perl one-liner:

perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /^\s*(REM.*)%/i or /^\s*(REM.*)/i'

And a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /^\s*(REM.*)%/i or /^\s*(REM.*)/i' $1 | remind -

(I am 100% certain a true Perl guru can combine the regexes, but
I'm too lazy.)

David.
