i see your point.  i still like the idea of a simple 3 types of
messages (ancient, a few months old, and this-week) with space-saving
date format.  the summary will get out of date, but since we're using
it for the format of the date, and not information like whether it was
yesterday, that's ok.  i don't mind if it gets out of date like that,
and no interval timer is necessary.

i like seeing the date, time, and so on as i described; i'm not really
looking to see if it's yesterday or not.  i guess timezone conversion
is messy; i like the format idea even if timezone conversion is not
done.
