RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178961

When I subscribe to a newsgroup and click on its entry to view messages, I get a
dialog box that says: "Your filters do not work because the msgFilterRules.dat
file, which contains your filters, could not be read.  A new msgFilterRules.dat
file will be created and a backup of the old file, called rulesbackup.dat, will
be created in the same directory".  I never had a msgFilterRules.dat (or any
mail/news rules).  The contents of rulesbackup.dat simple say:

version="8"
logging="no"

The file msgFilterRules.dat doesn't exist and is never created.

Reproducible: Always

Hey Mike, it'd be a lot easier to avoid duplicate bug reports if the original
reports had meaningful subject lines.  "[os/2] horked by bug 168553 (filter
fork)"!?!?!?  There's no way I'd recognize that as the same problem.
