Simply add a line with a time

inbox at the specified time. Below are some examples: |
|

If just a day but not hour is specified, the
reminder will be delivered at the default time of 6 a.m. |
|
In calendar mode, no day needs to be specified
in the time code since each input box is already associated with a particular day. In this
example, the reminder will be delivered at 3:30 pm on Wed, July 3, 2002. |

;;wed 9 #2 |
Will be delivered to user's 2nd email address

;;11/4 3pm |
This date will automatically expand to
11/4/2003 (assuming that 2003 is the current year). When a year is not specified, the
system will assume you mean the current year, or, if the date would be a past date, the
following year. |
Datepicker:
 |
Simply click CTRL-SHIFT-K to bring up
Datepicker which lets you easily select a future date. Clicking a day will insert the date
at the location of the cursor in the mmddyy style 1q11 understands.
(Datepicker was created by Erik Arvidsson, quite possibly
the best DHTML programmer on the planet.) |

Specify explicit email address in
timed reminders:
Besides the "#1" etc. codes for specifying email addresses in a timed delivery,
one can now also include one explicit email address. That has the advantage that a user
can easily have a timed reminder emailed to any recipient, even if that person's email
address is not listed in any of the 3 email slots in the account setting page.
Example:remember my birthday today
;;tue 8 #1 richuncle@relatives.com
The timed reminder above will be sent at the designated time to the email recipient
specified as "#1" in the account settings and to richuncle@relatives.com
