Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927 Firefox/0.9.1+

There is no option for setting the "Label" to "none" in the Message Filters
creators.  The msgFilterRules.dat file can be manually edited to change the
"Label" actionValue to "0" (none) and the filter will run accordingly, but if
the filter is later modified and saved the "Label" actionValue is reset to "1".
 I have confirmed this problem on a Win2k system running version 0.8 (20041012)
and on a WinXP system running version 0.8 (20041009).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Tools->Message Filters
2. Click on drop down list of choices for the "Label the message:" action in the
"Perform these actions:" section.
3. There is no "none" option on the drop down list of actions.

Actual Results:  
The only options listed on the drop down list for the "Label the message:"
actions were: Important, Work, Personal, To Do and Later

Expected Results:  
The drop down list should have included the "None" option in addition to the
options listed above.

The msgFilterRules.dat file can be manually edited to change the "Label"
actionValue to "0" (none) and the filter will run accordingly.  However, if the
filter is later modified and saved then "Label" actionValue is reset to "1".
