If dates are manually entered into the "Message Cleanup" dialog, messages from today are acknowledged/deleted instead
Configuration>Message Cleanup dialog allows dates to be manually entered

but any changes made by manually typing in the date fields is ignored (so by default the cleanup will happen for messages created "today").
