That doesn't make it right. This is a serious usability bug and a
newbie trap.
As I mentioned in my report, if some of the commands can handle it,
there's no reason all of them shouldn't handle it. The only other valid
interpretation is that those commands that are handling it as I expect
are broken and they're changing things that should really be treated as
body text and just happen to look like a SCHEDULED line.
