"overdue" items should be included when viewing "due today" or "due tomorrow"

(closed account) says:
I found a inconsistency/logic problem the way you treat "due ".

When I select "due today", or "due tomorrow", I expect to see also all those items which are already "overdue". But "overdue" task are not included in this lists.

A similar problem exists for reminder e-mails:

"Send me a daily reminder...
On the day the task is due
before the task is due "

Reminder mails should also _include_ those items which are already overdue.

Please can you change the behaviour - or alternatively add a new user option - so that users can decided to have the old behaviour or the one I suggest here?

If you want to see "today" due items and all overdue, you need to use this search:
dueBefore:tomorrow

It works beautifully then! Hope this helps.

(I'm not sure how to change the reminder e-mails for that. Sorry)

Thanks for your answer, I added that as a SmartSearch. This posting however was because I think that the term "due" (and task results for such a search) includes "overdue" (and such overdue task).

And regarding my second question for sending mails, I don't know how to enter this expression "dueBefore:tomorrow"
