261438 - "Customize Message Views" does not recognise custom Header Fields, e.g "X-Spam-Level"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209488

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Peter Franck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird Noia version 0.8 (20040913)

I tried to filter the message display for all messages with a header field
containing at least 10 spamassassin asterisks, i.e.
"X-Spam-Level: **********"
without success. Thunderbird simply listed no messages at all. The behaviour of
this function used to produce strange results in my earlier Mozilla versions as
well.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In main Message window click on "View: Customize" from the upper left dropdown
menu
2.Click "New..."
3.Enter some Message view name, e.g. "foo"
4.Click "Customize..." from the left pulldown of the rules dialog
5.Enter "X-Spam-Level" (or your favorite) under "New message header:"
6.Click "Add" and "OK"
7.Click "Subject|contains|foo" into the rules dialog and click "OK"
8.Click "Edit..." (cursor should still be on rule "foo")
9.Now you can change the rule to "X-Spam-Level|contains|**********"
10.Click "OK" twice and you're done

Actual Results:  
No message matched the rule (empty display)

Expected Results:  
43 messages should have matched the rule according to their headers
