(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Uno Engborg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

If I define a new item in the "View" popdown menu
(the one to the left of "Subject or Sender contains" field at the top of the
window), it doesn't work.

What I tried to accomplish was to sort view mail that had bin marked by
SpamAssasin on the serverside by looking for the SpamAssin specific custom
headers in the mail. 

If I select my new entry nothing gets selected



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select "customize..." from the "View" popup menu.
2.Select "New" from the dialog that shows up
3.Fill in a name in the "Message view name" field e.g. SPAM
4.Select "customize..." in the leftmost popup menu
5.A dialog shows up. Fill in the header name e.g X-Spam-Flag
6 Press "Add"
7. Press "OK"
8. You are now back in the "Message View setup" dialog
9. The new header entry doesn't show as it should
10. I tried to close the dialog and reepen it once again
11. Now SPAM is avaliable from the popup menu
12  Select the new X-Spam-Flag header you just addet
13  Select contains in the next popup
14  Fill in YES in the last field.

Actual Results:  
No mail shows up even if there are plenty of mails marked with
X-Spam-Flag: YES
headers in the imap mailbox I was trying this on.

Expected Results:  
Listed the mails matching the conditon i.e. mails having a
X-Spam-Flag: YES
set

This appears to be a duplicate of bug 205501.
Uno Engborg, please check that bug to confirm whether this is a dupe.  That bug 
discusses IMAP mail; for my POP mail account, MailViews works as expected on 
custom headers.

Incidentally, be sure you have the right name for the header!  If you're using 
SpamAssassin, the headers are X-Spam-Status and X-Spam-Level, not X-Spam-Flag.

This is an imap bug.

What extra headers you get from SpamAssasin depends on the settings of that
program. I have checked the mailbox files, the X-Spam-Flag headers really do exist.

So sorry, this is a real Mozilla bug not a typo in my header name.
