The workaround is to not set a UTF-8 locale; Remind only issues the LRM
sequences for UTF-8 locales.  You could write a little helper script
that sets LANG=C and LC_ALL=C before invoking Remind, something like this:

    #!/bin/sh
    LANG=C
    LC_ALL=C
    export LANG
    export LC_ALL
    exec remind "$@"

For 04.00.01, I'll figure out an option to suppress the LRM sequences,
though really it's the terminal emulators that are buggy, not Remind.

Regards,

Dianne.
