264382 - Filter on RSS: Mark as Read, and Flag/Star, do not function for arriving items

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Thunderbird 0.8, Windows 2000

I've defined a few filters for my RSS feeds; one filter labels certain items, 
another marks items read.  The first filter works on the items as they arrive, 
the second one does not.  Both filters function with Run Filters On Folder.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Setup an RSS feed in TB
2) Define a message filter for the feed that marks certain items as read
3) Await new items

Actual results:
All new items are Unread

Expected results:
Those items that match the filter criteria have been marked Read

Workaround: execute Run Filters on Folder, those items which match are now 
marked read.

Flag action also does not apply.
Delete and Move To actions do apply.

yup, we see this as well on WinXP with 20041117-0.9. nominating in case there's
an easy fix for this for 1.0.

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

minusing for 1.0, workaround exists.

Confirmed on Thunderbird 1.0 on W2000.

Why is this a minor bug, instead of normal?

Comment 5

[Burkhard]

Still persists in 1.0.7 - will this be fixed for 1.5?
Don't see this as minor either...

I was testing this further on 3a1-0816 and discovered that the 'Add Star' item doesn't appear to be working even with this method.

Attachment: fix mark as read case (and perhaps star, for incoming msgs)

we need to set the db folder stream on the parser so the mail filters can manipulate the status flags w/o having to get the folder lock. The alternative was to release the folder lock earlier, but the proposed approach is what we do for pop3 mail download...
