1753891 - MsgFilterList(args) should take targetFilter and pass it to FilterListDialog

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, enhancement)

Description

[Ian Neal]

Porting Bug 1002006 to SeaMonkey.
It should be possible to preselect a specific filter by adding
args.filter = targetFilter;

before calling MsgFilterList(args)

It would also be good if we had a mechanism to select a filter when the filter dialog is already open.
