OK, As per usual. As soon as I've sent off an email, I find a mistake.
I fixed the color marker regexp. I wrote a simple rem-today function
that will insert todays date in a format remind will like. But it won't
work within the skeleton. So I don't know how useful it will prove to
be. I could put it so that becomes the default in the skeleton, but
what if people wish to just use the form "MSG Clean your teeth!"
without a date at all? A default value is no good for them. I could do
a whole new skeleton just for messages for today. Would that be OK?
Done.
I discovered that the faces for remind are already customisable. Just
M-x customise-group -> remind-conf and the list of faces comes up for
you to change. How nice!

PS. I know I should just do diffs but that's something I have not
worked out how to do. Maybe this is the time to figure that out.

;;; Commentary:
;; Use this mode to help with the configuration of remind configuration files.
;; Put (require 'remind-conf-mode) in your .emacs file
;; also put (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.rem\\'" . remind-conf-mode))
;; (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("~/.reminders" . remind-conf-mode)) if you
;; want to have the mode work automatically when you open a remind configuration file.
;;; History:
;; Thu, Feb 14, 2008
;; Based mode on wpld-mode tutorial and sample-mode on emacs wiki.
;; Ideas from mupad.el for font-lock styles.
;;; Code:
