If you set $DedupeReminders to 0, then \fBRemind\fR does not even track
reminders to detect duplicates. Consider the following example:
.PP
.nf
SET $DedupeReminders 0

SET $DedupeReminders 1
REM Wednesday MSG Hello
.PP
Every Wednesday, \fBRemind\fR will issue \fItwo\fR "Hello" reminders.
Because $DedupeReminders was 0 when the first "Hello" was issued, it
won't be tracked for potential duplicates.
