Thanks for the tip!

I already use a "pending" label for a mix of "waiting",
"need to reply", and "action required". I'm thinking about switching to
shorter and more distinct naming like yours.

However I like the system proposed because it is event based and can be more
fine grained than "a day of the month".

I have updated my gist [1], to reflect two changes the first is to set the
date at the sending time (not when running email-reminder) and the second is
to use $EMAIL and $REALNAME which are a bit more self-explanatory.

This is brilliant.

(I'm not on the latest sup checkout, but i grepped the next branch for
FULLEMAIL and didn't see anything.)

Thanks.
