[Remind-Fans] Omit several weeks possible?

[Timothy Snowhite]

For interested parties:

=== man remind:
       %"     (percent-doublequote - ") is removed.  This sequence is
not used by the substitution filter, but is used to tell Remind which
text to include in a calendar entry when the -c,
              -s or -p option is chosen.  See "Calendar Mode"
===

So %"Rehersals%" was in fact the correct usage.

Also,
===
> cat remind_omit_example
FSET vacation_2012(x) isomitted (x) || \
                      (evaltrig("2012-04-02 *1 UNTIL 2012-04-14", x) == x) || \
                      (evaltrig("2012-05-30 *1 UNTIL 2012-06-11", x) == x)

REM Thursday SKIP OMITFUNC vacation_2012 MSG %"Rehearsal%"
> remind remind_omit_example
Reminders for Thursday, 26th January, 2012 (today):

Rehearsal

> remind -v

Hopefully changing Tues to Thursday didn't cause any confusion, but
the example runs fine as copied on the version listed.
