I am using several mail filters to file mozilla's bugs into separate local
folders. Today I realized that three bugs got files into the wrong folder. The
filter log says that a different filter was applied than what I expected. The
filter which was actually applied was the one immediately above the one that
should've been. All filters have the form "sender is [e-mail]
and subject begins with [Bug xxxxxx]". I double-checked for typos but there are
none. This one filter worked before (as did all others).

I don't know what the rules.dat file should look like but its contents looks
consistens.

I have no idea how to reproduce the problem. Just in case it should matter: The
rules are defined for the 8th out of 8 POP3 accounts in my mozilla profile.

Using mozilla 2002-12-21-08. Occiasonally messages get filed into the wrong
folder (as I reported some time ago). Can anyone give me a clue as to what
information is needed to identify the bug?

This sounds a bit like the first half of bug 162971 where a third-party added an
extra character to the from header making the filter fail.
Reporter: Are you still seeing this? Could you check the actual headers of an
email that is not being filtered (ctrl-u to view source) and check if that might
be the case? If not, could you perhaps attach an email like that to this bug for
testing purposes?

The bug is still present with version 2003-01-25-08. Comment #2 was sent to me
by e-mail and got filed into the wrong folder. I will create 2 attachments - the
mail sent to me, and my rules.dat file.

I located the problem. One of the first filters used 'match any' instead of
'match all.'
