277003 - Allow filtering on Newsgroups header

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 16913

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

At the moment, the only header items I can use for a message filter on a USENET
post are subject, sender and date. I would like to see 'Newsgroups' added to
this list.

A common filter that I use with the MacSoup offline newsreader is the regular
expression:

  ([^,]+,){2,}

Anything passing this test on the Newsgroups field is marked as read since I do
not wish to read messages posted to more then X number of groups. This cuts down
on the number of off-topic messages that I have to go through significantly.



Reproducible: Always
