191256 - The "Sender" mail filter is poorly named.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40934

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Asher Densmore-Lynn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I was attempting to match a mail message that contained a Sender header. I
selected the "Sender" option from the header selection in the filter -- however,
it completely failed to match.

I eventually and FINALLY realized that Sender did -not- mean "Sender" -- it
meant "From".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have either named -all- the headers in a manner inconsistent with
the true header match, or none of them. Alternately, an example panel that shows
the exact headers a given selection would work as well.

This did -not- make me happy. The whole point of this exercise is to see if
Mozilla's ready to become my mail reader. I suppose it is... but that lacked polish.
