170218 - Increase number of allowed custom headers for filters

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 166517

(MailNews Core :: Filters, enhancement)

Description

[Eduardo Bonsi]

Hi, the email filters of Mozilla needs to be improved. There's some limitations
in the number of filters per request.
Here is what the dialog box is saying:
"Your filters have exceeded the limit of 50 custom headers. Please Edit the
"rules.dat" file which contains your filters, to use fewer custom headers."
Besides I can not highlight and copy from a header.
====
There is many things I can hang out to do, but my problem is time.
I feel that the spamers have a advantage of this situation here.
====
It is possible to come out with a better and smart filter system?

Eduardo, your original bug report was about requesting an increase in the number
of allowed custom headers. If you experienced a crash as well, it should be
reported as a separate bug using the Bugzilla Helper at
[http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided]. It will help ensure
you provide all the necessary information. Be sure to search the bug database
before filing to make sure the issue isn't already reported..

Revising summary, reducing severity to enhancement, and confirming as an RFE.
