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.
