Subject: [sup-talk] [PATCH] Chronic context fix

From: [email-masked] (Marcus Williams)

Chronic should use a context of :past for email date searches as emails
tend to be in the past. This fixes a problem when the wrong year is
guessed. To search for emails in the future you now need to be less
ambiguous (1 apr 2099 instead of 1 apr).
