I'm a heavy user of message filters. When upgrading from TB 0.8 to TB 0.9 I was
very disappointed to have lost over 150 message filters.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install TB 0.8
2. Create several message filters
3. Install TB 0.9 over top of earlier version

Actual Results:  
All message filters lost in upgrade process. Accounts, mailboxes, folders,
newsgroups, messages, extensions, and themes all survived.

Expected Results:  
Detect existing earlier version and preserve filters.
Problem does not exist with upgrade to 1.0.  Anybody upgrading from TB0.8 or
earlier should be going to 1.0 or later so marking as resolved (won't fix).
