239167 - Filter in messages for "to: or cc:" is case sensitive

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 202558

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Martin Petricek]

User-Agent:       Opera/6.05 (Windows 2000; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5+ (20040328)

When I add filter to put mail to a folder based on "To: or CC:" ending with "@securityfocus.com", it won't work for messages ending with "@SECURITYFOCUS.COM" (seems that it is case sensitive) 
But domain names are not case sensitive, so I think there should be option for filters to be case sensitive (might be useful with subject or so ..) or not case sensitive (useful for matching addresses) or at least do case insensitive match for From, To and Cc fields.

Most email addresses are in lowecase, but there are excepsions ....

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. send yourself some emails, some of them have [e-mail] in Cc: header, some of them have [e-mail] there (or artificially create/import them in your inbox)
2. create the filter "move all mail that have 'to: or cc:' ending with '@securityfocus.com' to another folder
3. apply the filter to inbox.

Actual Results:  
only the mails with lowercase addresses are moved, the uppercase ones remain.

Expected Results:  
the emails with uppercase addresses should be moved to

Yes, in Thunderbird 0.7, same filter, same messages (well, xyz=bugtraq), only 
the lowercase one gets to proper folder, the uppercase one stays in inbox.

The bug is still here - Thunderbird version 0.7 (20040616)

The problem is with "Begins with" and "Ends with" string-matching criteria.
