Remind's not designed for that; it only queues up timed reminders for
today, regardless of the delta.

In non-daemon mode, you'll get a reminder from the 5th to the 10th,
but in daemon mode, it will only pop up on the 10th itself.

Yep, daemon mode does not queue up reminders except on their actual
trigger date.
