MSF doesn't seem to populate the %s field that I use to pass the string to xmessage. For now, I'm using a string pattern to represent the newline and using sed to manipulate the output. For example: MSG Meeting__n__Room 1 And then: remind -k'echo -e %s | sed -e "s/__n__/\n/g" | xmessage -file -' It's kind of ugly but does what I need. Since the long remind command gets called from another script, it's not difficult to use. _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
