Let me try a different slant.

"remind -s" outputs a text calendar that almost has the information I need
(events repeated into the future on the days they occur), except that
it shows only the MSG stuff inside %"...%" quotes, not the whole MSG line.

How can I make remind show me the whole line?

I can kludge it somewhat by removing most %" like this (simplified):

    $ sed -e 's/%"//g' <.reminders | remind -s -

but it really should be remind that parses the line and not a general
text substitution because the above removes more than it should ("%")
and less than it should (%\"%\").
