On any existing or new filter, changing criteria is ignored and
remains as 'Subject'.

Changing in msgFilterRules.dat file results in filter being disable.
Upon trying to enable message - This filter was probably created by a
future version of mozilla/netscape. You cannot enable this filter
because we don't know how to apply it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new or edit existing mail filter
2. Click on criteria an select new criteria, different than Subject
3. Release popup and Subject remains
4. Maually modifying rule by hand editing disables rule indefinitely
Confirmd 2003030608-trunk/Win-Me and 2003030908-trunk/Win-Me with Modern theme
or Orbit Retro 1.2 0.0.7 theme.
When adding condition by "More" button, criteria becomes same as last one and
changing of this criteria was ignored.

Work around 1: Use theme whose criteria field is text box(such as Classic theme)

Work around 2: Edit msgFilterRules.dat and change conditions manually.
 For example;
 condition="OR (subject,is,Subject-Text1) OR (subject,is ,Subject-Text2)"
 => 
 condition="OR (sender,is,abc@def.hij) OR (to,contains,abc@def.hij)"
