Continuing the topic of back and delta with omit ...

REM Mon 1 May SCANFROM [_lastweek()] SATISFY [TRUE]
OMIT [trigger(trigdate())]  MSG May Bank Holiday

REM 2 OMIT Sat Sun AFTER ++7 -1 MSG fund account %v


On the working day on or following the 2nd of the month a standing
order payment is carried out.
On the calendar day prior to the payment I need a reminder to fund the
account.

AFTER pushes the trigger, quite correctly, after any holidays and
weekends. -1 moves the trigger date to the previous working (not
calendar) day.

I could do with something like a --1 which ignores the OMITs. ;-)

Do I have to do this in 2 statements?, e.g.:
REM 2 OMIT Sat Sun AFTER -1 SATISFY 1
REM [trigger(trigdate()-1)] MSG fund account %v

I also tried 
REM trigger(trigdate())] -1 MSG fund account %v
but this produced the message on Sunday 3rd rather than Bank Holiday
Monday 4th May. Why?
