When weekends are excluded, offsets will now skip the weekends so steps landing on a weekend will not simply send on the Monday but also include the weekend days in the offset.
Example:
If a Sequence step is set for 3 days between step 1 and step 2 and step 1 is sent on a Thursday, step 2 will normally send on the Sunday (and therefore on the Monday if weekends are excluded using the old logic).
But this will now send on the Tuesday as excluding weekends (using week days only), Thursday + 3 week days is Tuesday.
