[MlMt] filter today's mails // condition Date > Relative

[Gary Hull]

Mailbox apparently has a feature where an email can be morphed into a 
to-do item somehow. I'm not sure how it works. But it occurred to me 
that the Send Later time phrases could be used here. For instance, if 
you use your inbox as a to-list (and many people do, like it or not), 
then you could have a header for Hide, or something like that, and then 
you could enter "3 days" or "next month" or "10 hours" or "The Ides of 
March" or whatever phrase the parser can understand, and at that time 
the mail would reappear in the inbox.
