Junk mail control in help contain this passage;

Junk Mail Controls runs after mail mail filters and applies only to the Inbox
folder and its sub-folders. Use this to your advantage, for example, you can
filter mail you are sure not to be Junk to a special folder outside of Inbox so
that the messages will not be classified as Junk (especially useful if you
subscribe to newsletters or if you are on a moderated mailing list).

This is incorrect. Junk mail controls operate on all unread mail in any folder
of an account with junk mail controls enabled, when the folder is opened. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Help Documentation should describe the actual functioning of the software.
Whether this behavior is intended or desirable is the subject of discussion
elsewhere.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614
