No, no, no... Remind does date calculations for you---don't try to do
them by hand! And use Remind's built-in date types. Don't decompose dates
into day/month/year.
What you want is something like:
FSET _da(date) ord(trigdate() - date)
REM 3 Aug 2011 MSG %"[_da('2011-07-04')] day since event%"
though that function is so trivial I'd just inline the whole thing.
If you have a new version of Remind, you can use $T rather than
trigdate, so it becomes simply:
REM 3 Aug 2011 MSG %"[ord($T - '2011-07-04')] day since event%"
