Yes, that's true... it takes into account only the time-of-day and not
the date.  This is arguably a flaw, but it has worked that way for decades.

With Remind 04.02.00, you can define your own substitution sequences, so
I guess you could define a %{when} sequence that does the proper thing.

Regards,

Dianne.
