User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

While creating (or changing) a filter for Inbox, after saving the filter, the
rule(s) should not change (obviously).
In this Mozilla rev (and I notice this only in this rev) after a restart some
rules are changed causing execution of filters with unwanted rules.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start creation of a new message filter: Tools/Message Filter/New
2.Select in the appropriate rule's fields: "Status", "is", "Read"
3.Select in the appropriate action's fields: "Move to Folder", "Trash" (it can
be any other folder)
4.Click on [OK]
5.Close the message Filters Dialog
6.Quit the entire Mozilla apps (Navigator, Composer, Mail etc.)
7.Restart Mozilla mail
 

Actual Results:  
Opening again the Message-Filter/Filter-Rules box, the rule fields now show:
"Status", "is", "Replied" (instead of the selected "Read") and the filter acts
consequently.

Replied messages are trashed instead of Read ones.

This malfunction, in some cases/rules-combinations, may cause unexpected loss of
data (messages).  

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not make autocton changes in the rules fields.

Any further attempt to correct the filters has no different result.
The Mail Filters are unuseable.
There is an existing bug about Status criteria...  will look up the bug number.
Didn't find the original issue I'm thinking of, but this is a duplicate of bug
