Sure, it'd be useful to html-ize my calendar. I like rem2ps as well --
when I have access to a printer, anyway...

with that, I could generate the .ics file and do a lot of other

I also seperate my reminders file into seperate included files.

remind, and sends out the email.
Then you'd just have to maintain that reminders.meetings
file.
