By ticklers, do you mean alarms? How do date-only alarms work?

Actually, it doesn't look like it's optional. When I clear the alarm 
time, it's never changed in the summary view and the details are reset 
to its earlier value when I go back to the item in question.

Ah, I haven't thought of this. I don't really need this myself, but it's 
a pretty cool way to manage one's email.

The Who column doesn't have to be user-configurable -- Jeffrey's idea to 
hide it if its value is "me" for all items in the view would be an ideal 
solution, I think. It would allow for transparent transition from using 
Chandler as a single-user PIM to a collaborative one.
