>>You might have a good point there, Bonnie. A francophone might say "I've lived here since [for] seven years". So the button might mean "get all messages for yesterday" (ie all yesterday's messages).

>Yes, that's the way a French-speaking person typically will say this in English ... "I've lived here since seven years" ("since" meaning "for").

>But in contrast, the "since" in the "Get all messages since yesterday" doesn't actually mean "for" as in "only for yesterday", and it doesn't mean "since" in the way we English-speakers typically mean because, as Viv pointed out, there wouldn't be any difference between getting all of today's messages and getting messages since yesterday ... they seem to mean the same thing.

>So, it is actually inclusive, as in "Get all messages through yesterday", as Mike pointed out.
