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