Summary: [FEATURE] Front end work for news filtering → [FEATURE] Front end work for filtering
Seems like the front end is the same for news and mail, right? Can we just make this a generic filter FE bug?
Seth requested this and a BE bug for his news part. I don't care myself, as long as its clear what portions get fixed/implemented when it comes time to verify.

Since seth put me in both the CC and the Assigned To, I'm assuming he meant to put himself in the CC :)

an update: between bienvenu and I, we have a scriptable validity table, which means now have the data I need to set up the dropdown lists for attributes (subject, sender, etc) and operators (contains, is less than, etc) this means that I should have a read-only UI by the 27th or 28th.
well, it's taking a little longer than expected, but I hope to have read-only filters by 5/2 or 5/3. Made lots of progress today and finished up the behavioral aspects of the search widgets, now I need to reflect the current wizard's search terms into the UI.
a major step forward: you can now view your filters in the filter editor. The only thing that is not updated is the action for the filter. It's a little slow right now but I know why (I stuck some quick hacks so we at least have something visible on the screen for everyone to see!)
ok, updated progress: you can now edit text-based filter terms, like sender and subject, and it will save them for the current session. selectable attributes like message status or priority is still a little flakey. they don't save to disk yet, working on that.
the last of this feature came in a day late. I have all the changes to make this dialog "feature complete" ready to checkin, sans a number of bugs. I'd like to check in what I have - the only changes are in the filter code itself, nowhere else.
Keywords: nsbeta2
ok, I declare this "feature complete" - any further problems (and there are lots) are bugs.
