Hi Wes,
yes, a better display of the remember template options would be useful.
However, right now the remember interface, because I believe that
James is working on a rewrite of the remember integration. Maybe he
wants to put this on his list?

But anyway, I started thinking: you know... that *Remember* buffer is
sitting there open and blank when selecting a template. Can't we put
the list of templates there? So I hacked together a quick patch to
put
the contents in the *Remember* buffer and it works just fine. I'm not
an expert elisp hacker as I dabble in it only every few years, hence
the
reason "bad" is in the subject line. It's also left as an exercise to
the reader to make the inserted contents prettier (like a table,
rather
than one item per line).
