[Chandler-dev] Regarding bug 11987 - Move "Month/Week/Day" View selector back to View menu

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Andre,

I'm not sure I'm following your description.

I think there was a misunderstanding about that bug, which I've re- 
opened. The menu structure should be:

View>>
- All
- Starred
- Calendar>>Month / Week / Day
------------------
