Using sept 11 commercial build

Seamonkey Search Messages UI spec:
http://gooey/client/5.0/specs/mail/Search/Search.html

The search ui now makes available only Contains/Doesn't Contain as choice of
operators for any text value criteria (Subject,Sender,To,To or Cc).  This is
true for any mail account selection, POP or IMAP.

The spec shows a larger range of choices should be available.  It differs from
the values from 4.x, so I'm not sure what is ultimately correct for 6.0.
Throughout the project it has been told to me that search and filter criteria
would be the same, it is now not -- filters ui does indeed display the
larger/spec'd choices.

When fixed, please reiterate what is correct criteria for news, POP, IMAP and if
offline state should change said choices (I know we're not "officially"
supporting offline, so I would like to know what's the deal here.)

It's too late to be implementing features.  It would be nice to have this, but 
we're not in a mode where we can plus this.  nsbeta3-.

this is not a new feature - it worked quite recently in 6.0, if I understand 
correctly.

Yes, David is correct, it's really a regression. I already talked to Alec about
talking Steve out of the minus.
adding keyword so PDT doesn't assume it's a new feature.

I should add it looks like it's actually pulling in the NEWS criteria instea of
the mail criteria (i.e. it isn't that individual criteria have disappeared, it's
just pulling in the wrong set of criteria off the valitity manager)
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
This does not currently rate a P2, so I can't plus it.  If you would like, we 
can try to build an argument for the PDT to make an exception.  Please come talk 
to me in person if you'd like to do that.
