the mail/news application).

Note that if you open the Filter Rules dialog from the Message Filter dialog, 
you can't switch back to the Message Filter dialog.  You can switch to the 3pane 
in this case because the Message Filter dialog is modeless and so doesn't block 
the 3pane.

Updating summary for precision; reducing severity.
