Thanks, I've removed the "Todo" tag from the preferences pane, but 
something's definitely still not right.  Newly tagged messages do now 
correctly show the "TODO" tag in the header (with the associated 
emoticon - yay), but in the smart mailbox I use to track tagged 
messages, I still see only "Todo", not "TODO".  There, I still see only 
"Todo", and it includes the message I just tagged as "TODO".

Then there's the mystery of how all my previously "TODO" tagged messages 
seemingly changed from to "Todo".  Or did they?  Is there some way for 
me to see the raw IMAP keyword of those messages?  Maybe this is MM 
confusion, and the tags really didn't change from "TODO" to "Todo"?

Thanks.
