Bug Description

In a more business/task oriented environment it may be helpful to mark a mail as needing a response by a certain date.

Maybe such a feature could be listed beneath the spin button (with the CC field) as a set of month/day/year buttons and a checkbox.

As for a technical solution, I wonder if we can have Postler create a calendar event and attach it to the message?

We could use the Reply-By header, which is only used by Outlook as far as I can see but basically what we want. And it is mentioned in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2076.txt .

A calendar event is probably more compatible, though it feels clunky because I don't think it can actually say "reply needed" and it won't be associated with the message.

Maybe we want both.
