trigfrom() works for me if you use a (redundant) FROM clause:

$ echo 'REM 2022-07-12 FROM 2022-07-12 THROUGH 2022-07-19 \
   MSG Runs [trigfrom()] through [triguntil()]' | remind -

Runs 2022-07-12 through 2022-07-19

which, I realize, is not a great answer.  One you'll like even less is:

    REM 2022-07-12 THROUGH 2022-07-19 MSG RUNS 2022-07-12 through 2022-07-19

In other words, don't be trickier than necessary. :)
