The cron job actually sounds promising for both of the features I'd need -- actually starting the thread on the day it's scheduled (instead of simply when you enter the data on the calendar. I mean, if you're already typing in the info, why not just copy and paste it yourself into a new thread? As it stands, this hack isn't really saving you much but 2 or 3 extra mouse clicks...).

By treating each of the reoccurring events as a separate event (even if only as a separate data item) and using the cron jobs, it's open up a whole LOT of new possibilities for this hack...
