That's interesting.  I'm also a fan of GTD and therefore also love
being able to get mail out of the inbox into the archives, so that the
inbox only contains unprocessed mail.  However, as I mentioned a while
back on this list, I take a completely different approach to
implementing the "tickler" mechanism for allowing an archived mail to
regain visibility on a particular date:

etc.
