Hello,

when disabling an autoreply message in the users settings, then one has to set the today date first in the 'from' date. If this is not done, modoboa will complain about a passed date which is strange as it shouldn't bother modoboa about dates when autoreply is being disabled.

Also when the date range is set a little bit in the past, also in 'from', from the present 'today' date, modoboa will also complain about this.

I can't reproduce the first issue. Giving an autoreply message with no dates, if I activate it and then deactivate it, I see no error... Can you explain your use case a bit more?

Actually, the second issue is not issue. You can't use dates which are older than now.

Modoboa 1.1.4: For example, I set the starting date to 13.06.14 14:00 and the ending date to 'starting date +1 week'. This works. I click to activate and that is ready. When after some time I go to deactivate the reply function, by just clicking on deactivate, it tells me that the starting date is in the past, marks the starting date red. It won't let me deactivate the autoreply. I then press in the date picker of the starting date to 'today' and then the deactivation works.

If you like, I can create a screencast to show you this.
