Fix for Tasks if accidentally saved with no due date set? Newdefault or user preference?

Currently the default for Entourage Task due dates is none unless you type
one or click on the miniature calendar in a Task window.

Problem: If you accidentally save a Task before setting a due date, it ends
up out-of-sight and out-of-mind at the bottom of the list, no matter how far
in the future that may be. In the course of multi-tasking or when
distractions arise, it's easy to make such an error.

Which would be more practical for MS Mac Business Unit developers and most
users?

-- Create a built-in default date for all Tasks to be the next day--the
same as if you clicked on the mini-calendar for the current month that's in
each Task window?

Or:

--Create a new preference that would allow the user to select the default
date for Task due dates by checking "today," "tomorrow," or "none" unless
you click on the calendar and select a new date or type one?

Respectfully, Norm
