set reminder to non-default time?
I occasionally have something for which I'd like a reminder further in advance than usual - for example, even though my default reminder is 15 minutes, I have an appointment that I'd like to be reminded about 24 hours in advance. I know I can edit the appointment on the Sandy webpage, but is there any way to set a reminder like this when emailing Sandy?

Inappropriate?notsheep,
Here's the trick I've used for that:
1) Send in your appointment to Sandy
2) Have her reply that she's got it right (using @reply, or turning on auto-replys)
3) Respond to her reply with "Remind me (whenever date/time)"
The trick is (3). It sets the reminder field in Sandy without changing the appointment. It's also handy for rescheduling todo reminders.

Inappropriate?Thank you, that works. Not quite as neat as being able to do it in one email, but much easier than going to the website to edit the appointment.
I’m content with this workaround

Inappropriate?Also, thanks to a new feature provided by Rael, you can do the following:
remind me to take out the trash tonight @reminder 1 hour prior
the @reminder is a special tag, with text following it to be parsed as the reminder, relative to the appointment.
