Details

I've added the content-base header which works when I use it from search or
message views but when I save it as a search it fails. 

tested with today's nightly build on winXP. I tried creating the saved search
from the file -> new saved search, edit -> search messages, and the save search
as folder from message view. None worked.
It's possible that this is failing with all custom headers. I can't get it to
work with x-bugzilla-reason header either. 
I can't even seem to be able to search on custom header (as simple as Reply-to
and Delivered-To )- it seems to find nothing, althugh I copied and pasted those
header from email which is in my inbox.

imap folder, thunderbird 0.9 on Linux 
I have the same problem.

I am using Popfile to classify my email.  If I run a search on
X-Text-Classification (a custom header added to each email by Popfile) it works
great.  If I change this search into a saved search folder, it doesn't find
anything.

WinXP, Tbird 1.0.2.
I'm seeing the same issue with Reply-To.  A search works fine (3 hits), the same search as a "saved search" returns nothing.

Note, this is with the 2005-11-03 nightly (version 1.5 (20051103))
I just found that it fails with custom headers but succeeds with Subject. Courier IMAP is the target.
I have the some problem with TB version 2 beta 2 (20070116) on Linux

The standalone search work great, but if I save the search then the search folder doesn't work anymore :(
I have to correct myself.

If I'm in a search folder and I change the search criteria in the search field (top right next to the icon menu underneath the menu) to "Entire Message" and I write nothing just hit the enter then all the folders will be searched for the search folders rules. And I get all the right messages.
search folders rules = search folder's rules

Sorry my English is really bad :(
This is also still an issue with version 1.5.0.10.  I created a saved search that, among other things, filters based on the send to address beginning with "list-".  I originally used "To or CC" for the criteria, but decided to change to the Delivered-To header.  When I make that change, though, ALL mail from the searched folder appears in the saved search.  If I revert back to "To or CC", only the matched mail is displayed.

Note: this filter (Delivered-To) works fine when I perform a manual search with Ctrl-Shift-F.  It only fails when I used the saved search feature.  It'd be really great to finally fix this 2+ year old bug for the 2.0 release.
Also, should this really be considered "New" at this point?  It seems to have been verified by a number of people across pretty much every version of Thunderbird.
