Answers.Body: <p>OK, I'm an idiot. The start offset means that users can't schedule mailings in the past, and the 1 means that they can schedule mailings up to one year into the future.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe "offset" isn't the ideal word. "Start of valid range" and "End of valid range" would be clearer.</p>
