I've tried this in a simple way for just my own account.  However, 
reminders.php does not appear to be calling the hook in it's processing 
because it still gets a null email address for me.

Thinking about reminders further, I'm not sure that I want to send email 
reminders anyways.  My users would have to login to webmail anyways in 
order to read their email and see their reminder!  I wonder, is there a 
way to have the user get a pop-up or notification within webmail, when 
their reminder is due?

It seems like running a check for reminders on every page load could be 
incredibly intensive though.  :(

Thoughts?
