Create/Import a large list of birthdays

timo.off says:
My RTM should remind me of all the birthdays. The list of birthdays is long and I do not want to enter all of them in RTM by hand.

So I export all the birthdays and stored them in Excel:
First Column: Name
Second Column: birth
Third Column: * each year

The second column has the form: ^DD.MM
Excel will help you with this...

This list is then copied into an email, no formatting, and mailed to the usual import address. (see: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/email/#import)
The subject line is the name of your list (here: Birthday).

A short time later, all the birthdays appear in the birthday list and RTM will remind you year by year.
