task reminder gives wrong and confusing information

[Guest]

Why can't an Outlook task cope with a reminder that is set to go off before
the task due date?

In the Calendar if I have a meeting on Feb 27 and ask for a reminder 1 week
in advance if I reach Feb 24 and haven't dismissed the reminder it will say
"Due in 3 days".

If I have a task due on Feb 27 and set the reminder for Feb 20 then on Feb
24 it will say "4 days overdue". Is it possible to correct this and make task
reminders recognise the actual due date?

There's nothing you can do to change that - but perhaps it will be corrected
in the next version.

Don't hold your breath, Ben. My bug was closed with "by design".

Bug it also, maybe enough of us might convince someone.
