+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1749219 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to construct a filter for message body containing a URL from google-api.com.

Actual results:

No mechanism to scan for keywords in the body. Missing rule should be present.

Expected results:

It should be possible to construct a simple rule to always mark this message as junk. You cannot at present.

We already established bug 1749219 is already implemented, no?

Comment 2

[John Mellor]

Yes, but no. It is present on Linux, but not implemented on Windows. There are no Body filter settings presented.

Comment 3

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

There are no differences between win/linux.

Open the context menu of the folder (Inbox):
-> Properties -> /Synchronization
=> enable: [X] Select this folder for offline use

Of course, as long as TB doesn't download the body, it cannot filter on its content. For this reason TB does not offer the 'Body' field in this case.

Yup, that was the issue. Perhaps it would be more useful for TB to show the dropped rule criteria as greyed out, and some hovering or right-click action to show why. Just dropping it might technically work for the dev with the ability to have hindsight, is not very useful for the user.
