Yep, that looks OK.

Yep, that's correct but .....

...... 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.
