[Remind-Fans] Remind FAQ about »How ca I get emailed in 15 minutes ...« is wrong

[Niklaas Baudet von Gersdorff]

Hi,

I am very happy with remind and am currently setting it up. Hence, I 
also had a look at the Remind FAQ in the Wiki. There, it is explained 
how to get emailed 15 minutes before an event starts. I think, there is 
a slight mistake. Please have a look at the following code from the 
wiki.

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

Enclosing %s with "" causes the escape sequences for special characters 
being sent within the email. So, the command should rather be without 
the "". This way, the mail is not full of backslashes (which is nicer :).

Best,
