(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem.  It

Imported into Bugzilla on 09/07/99 10:55)

Nav4.61 on WinNT 4.0 SP3.

To repro:
1) Create an aka alias "marek-signup" with distribution to QA tester
([e-mail]?)
2) open Messenger
3) create new folder marek-signup
4) create subfolder of marek-signup called Day1Standards
5) Edit-->Message Filters
6) create a new filter:
  a) check "All of the following"
  b) to or cc: includes [e-mail]
  c) body contains Day1Standards=yes
  d) move to Day1Standards
7) create a second filter, after the first in the filter order:
  a) check "All of the following"
  b) to or cc: includes [e-mail]
  d) move to marek-signup

Now, a message sent to [e-mail] with Day1Standards=yes in the
body should move to Day1Standards; all others sent to [e-mail]
should move to marek-signup.

But now test it:

8) open WebMail
9) send a message to [e-mail] with a blank subject and
Day1Standards=yes in the body
10) the message winds up in marek-signup, not in Day1Standards; the first rule
failed to execute. If the subject is not blank, the first rule works fine.

Mainly I want to be sure the same bug doesn't occur in Nav5.

I don't believe it for a second, but I'll see if it happens in 5.0 (actually, I
can't, because body filters don't work yet)

FYI, I've seen this happen in Nav 4.6 on WinNT 4.0 SP3 myself, so I believe this
is a real bug.  During the CodeStock registration, we received submissions by
email form submit from a variety of browsers.  If the browser produced a blank
subject line, the filters we'd set up (which included tests on the body) tended
to fail.  The CodeStock registration form is at
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/signup.html

Not certain which browsers were generating the blank subject line submissions.
I believe that email messages with a Subject of "(no subject)" or "Unidentified
subject!" were failing to filter. FWIW.

Verifying this bug.

Comment 10

[gayatrib]

Messenger->Edit-->Message Filters->New filter does not have "body" field in it.
Cannot reproduce step 6c. Is this a bug? I dont see this field in 4.x either. 
Filed bug 56781 for the missing field.
