What is Email-Reminder?

Email-Reminder allows users to define events for which they want to receive a reminder by email (see sample reminders) either on the day of the event and/or a few days beforehand.

Possible events include:

  • birthdays
  • anniversaries
  • weekly, monthly and yearly events
This program includes a cron job that checks for events and sends reminders once a day, and a simple user interface (see screenshots) to add/modify reminders.

from Google Code (Linux/UNIX source code).

Roadmap now available

I have just posted a roadmap to give users an idea of where I want to take email-reminder (in terms of new features) in the next few releases.

If you want to help with any of those, feel free to send patches or comments on how to best implement specific features. For example, I'm not completely sure how Perl projects usually handle internationalization, so any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

As always, feel free to suggest new features (and report bugs/annoyances) through the issue tracker.

Email-reminder 0.7.2 Released

If you use any accented characters, upgrade now! This version fixes a problem where your reminders file (written in the XML format) can become unreadable by email-reminder-editor after you save some accented characters in the event name.

This release also makes it possible to send UTF-8 encoded email messages so that accented characters can make it to the emails.
