277164 - After creating filter from message, don't get chance to run filter

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 276812

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Doug Hockin]

After creating filter from message, don't get chance to run filter

After you create a new filter from a message, you aren't given
the opportunity to run the filter.  You have to go to Tools to
run the filter.  When you create a filter from Tools->Message Filters
you're given an opportunity to run the filter right after creation.

Question:  Why aren't there more entries in bugzilla's "Component" field,
like "Filter Manager", etc.?

Although the definition of the bug is not quite the same - this has been fixed
by bug 276812 - an error was stopping the message filter dialog being displayed
after creating a new filter from message.

Therefore marking as duplicate.

Answer to additional question: Filter manager, search type functions are found
under the "Core" product as they are shared with the mozilla application suite.

But how are non-initiates like to to know that?  When I search
for bugs do I always need to search in Thunderbird|Firefox and Core?
I'm not knowledgeable enough to know a bug I want to report
is in Core.
Wouldn't it be easier for bugzilla to just merge them in
the interface it presents to reporters?
