Is this a trick question?  Is there really a perceptible difference 
between 999999999 days (or about 2 *million* years) and infinite?  Was 
using a really big number just too imaginative for you?  :)

I haven't tried to see if that number will work correctly:  it's just a 
Perl variable, and according to http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=718414 , 
it's smaller than Perl's maximum long int, but maybe there's some other 
limit.

So, you could be more conservative:  99999 days is 273 years.  Even 9999 
days is 27 years.  Do you *really* think we'll still be using Outlook in 
27 *years*?  (God, I hop not...)
