Negative value of age-in-days is accepted by UI but converted to large positive
integer.
This causes difficulty in filtering spam mails from future.
Change age-in-days to signed data, please. 

Note: "Age-in-days less than 0" works well on both today's mail and future mail
currently.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Dupe of bug 174294?
If solution for bug 174294 satisfies my want, this bug is dup of bug 174294.
But fix for bug 174294 can be "Do not allow negative number in UI".
The possibility of this is not zero, my experience says :-)
