12494 - Filters with operator IS don't work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

[Phil Peterson]

1. Migrated my profile from 4.x to 5.0
2. When I select my IMAP Inbox, the status bar shows a filter firing when it
shouldn't be
3. The filter which is firing incorrectly has an "is" term, e.g. "subject is
jstest"

Turns out there's a porting error in the filter code where we misinterpret the
return code from nsString::Equals. I have a fix.

Fixed in nsMsgSearchTerm.cpp

Works at basic level using sender/IS or subject/IS in single criteria filter
using 1999092308 Win32 on NT 4.0 with IMAP. Haven't yet verified all platforms
and combinations...

Generally working IMAP and POP for all platforms. Any specific issues found
using IS operator will be logged separatell.
