238117 - Unable to customize filters to search message contents

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238113

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Ronnie Wexer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.23; Mac_PowerPC)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.4

I would like to customize the filters to search through the message body for unwanted 
materials.  Unfortunately, Thunderbird does not allow this - the only way to actually filter 
the garbage in the message is by reading it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Message Filters
2.Hit Customize
3.Try using the words Message or Body to add the ability to filter the incoming message

Actual Results:  
I clicked OK and the filter did absolutely nothing.

Expected Results:  
Scanned the email message body for offensive garbage so it could be shippped to the 
trash.

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5+ (20040328) on Windows XP and I have multiple
filter which are based on the contents of messages and they work as expected.

I notice that you're using Thunderbird 0.4.  Perhaps try upgrading to a newer
version (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/).
