Using -kcmd seems to be working relatively well, and I am using a trigger character to determine if that particular message should be emailed or just displayed. Basically, if the message ends in a period, I send an email as well. I have one followup question for now.

After instantiating remind using -k<magic-script>, will changes to the script be picked up by remind or does it need to be killed and restarted to see the changes?

I also have an unrelated question regarding the calendar. Is it possible to display the calendar in an ncurses-based terminal such that the screen is not cleared after the calendar is shown? The screen clearing is the opposite behavior I want or would expect. This could be something with my terminal, but I don't think so.

Thanks very much,
Dave

Is there any way I can have remind do both of these things without
having to enter each appointment twice?
You can invoke Remind like this:

remind '-kmy_magic_script %s' ...

Then you only use the MSG form and write a program called
my_magic_script that both echoes its argument to the terminal and
sends off an email.

See the man page for documentation on the "-k" option.

David.
