NAME¶

Send-reminders - send email reminders for special occasions

SYNOPSIS¶

Send emails reminders set by users for special occasions.

DESCRIPTION¶

Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email. Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries and yearly events. Reminders can be sent on the day of the event and a few days beforehand.
