273630 - quick search searches on "sender" even in "Sent" folder (should search on "to or cc")

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259914

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[AJS]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: 

A nice feature of Netscape 7.2 Mail is that the "quick search" bar right above 
the list of messages by default searched "Subject or Sender" in all folders 
EXCEPT for the "Sent" and "Drafts" folders.  For those folders, the quick 
search searched "Subject or RECIPIENT".  This makes sense because all the 
items in the Sent and Drafts folder are bound to have the same sender (you).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on "Sent" or "Drafts" folder in Thunderbird 1.0 (IMAP)
2. Look at the SEARCH toolbar.

Actual Results:  
It has options to search by "sender"

Expected Results:  
It would be better to search by "recipient" -- since this is the Sent folder.
