+\r
+Here's my thoughts on date/range syntax:\r
+\r
+I think: date:monday should show only e-mails that arrived on\r
+monday (not also emails that arrived since then.) Because that's\r
+what it looks like it does.\r
+\r
+I think a very common use of date ranges will be from some time\r
+until now. So I'd like that to be easy. I suggest this syntax:\r
+\r
+       since:monday\r
+\r
+which would be a shorthand for:\r
+\r
+       date:monday-00:00:00..now\r
+\r
+If that's not a popular idea, then we should at least be able to\r
+use this shorthand for the same:\r
+\r
+       date:monday..\r
+\r
+Also, I think it's quite valuable to have "yesterday" work as a\r
+date.\r
+\r
+That's all.\r
