1770440 - Custom filter on Reply-to not working with "Run Filters on Message".

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184490

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Christophe Lyon]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0

Steps to reproduce:

I added a new custom field for mail filtering ("Reply-to"), but couldn't make it work.

I read https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622307 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184490, and after I repaired the folder now partially work.

Actual results:

After repair, the filter is taken into account if I do "Run Filters on Folder", but not if I select a message and do "Run Filters on Message".

The condition in my msgFilterRules.dat is:
condition="OR (all addresses,contains,XXX) OR ("reply-to",contains,XXX)"

Expected results:

This should work whether the user runs the filters on the folder or on the specific message.

(When referencing bugs, just write "bug" and the number after it. Like bug 622307 and bug 184490.)

I added a new custom field for mail filtering ("Reply-to"), but couldn't make it work.

After repair, the filter is taken into account if I do "Run Filters on Folder", but not if I select a message and do "Run Filters on Message".

I can confirm this.

I have created two filters:
A: When From contains from@ => Tag Message Tag_A
B: When Reply-to contains Reply-to@ => Tag Message Tag_B

With Menu: Tools -> Run Filter on Folder both tags are set.
After deleting the tags and selecting the same messages, however, only Tag_A is set with Menu: Tools->Run Filter on Messages.

After some reading of Bug 184490 it is another dupe of that one.
