Steps to reproduce:

It is suggestion, not a bug.
When I create filter based on sender (for example), i fill text field with:
padre-dev@perlide.org
but what if I need some widecharacter?




Actual results:

wide/blank characters arent supported


Expected results:

currently i use multiple addresses like:
padre-dev@perlide.org
padre-adm@perlide.org
etc.
I want use the same with wide characters.
example for bash:
padre-*@perlide.org
example for pcre type regex:
^padre-[^@]+?@perlide.org$

for recognition how text should be parsed, i suggest add some prefix:
padre-dev@perlide.org             #plain without prefix
sh:padre-???*@perlide.org        #unix shell expansion type
pcre:^padre-[^@]+?@perlide\.org$  #perl regullar expression (pcre) expansion type
regexp:^padre-..*@perlide.org$  #eventually can be supported posix regexp type
Until it is implemented in core TB, you can use the filtraquilla extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/ .
