#6 Respond by e-mail
This program comes very close to one I've had brewing
in my head for some time (thus saving me a fair amount
of work), with one major exception: I wish I had a
reminder system that could be maintained *entirely* by
e-mail if I so chose. In other words, combine the
features of a mailing list with a reminder system so that
one could:
-Create a reminder by sending an e-mail (ideally; not
that important)
-Change the status of a reminder by replying to the
reminder e-mail with specific commands. For example,
including in the reply:
SLEEP [x hours|days|etc]
would cause a non-recurring reminder to recur once
more at the specified interval, or a default of one day.
Ideally, one could define each reminder item as requiring
explicit confirmation or not, with a user-defined default.
Reminders requiring confirmation would need to be
confirmed by the user simply doing a reply without
altering the original message (or subject line).

PS I realize this would require more dependencies as there
would need to be either a special Reply-to address or a mail
filter and an additional script to handle incoming mail,
possibly with added security considerations. These are the
reasons I haven't rolled my own; the "perfect" solution would
be more portable than this...
