   ..... did you notice that all the displayed messages are "Marked for     
   reply".   
      
    AA> So.. is the the "Today" feature a bit broken?   
      
   At first glance, that would appear to be the case but after a bit of     
   experimenting with View Modes, I've discovered that messages which are     
   "Marked for reply" will always be displayed in "All", "New", "Today" and     
   "Reorg" View Modes. At the moment, I prefer to call this a feature rather     
   than a bug.
