281848 - Mail filters in 1.7.5 not properly working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275558

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

I have a mail account "Danet" with associated mail filters. One of them is
called "*Spam" with a rule "X-SPAM contains K9". Basically, SPAM recognized by
my K9 (spam filter) will bear a header line like "X-SPAM: K9 [90.0%]". The
header field "X-SPAM" is defined as a custom field.

When new e-mail comes in, this rule is not applied. I can see that in the filter
log.

When I manually move e-mail into the account's inbox and run the filters on the
folder, everything works fine.

I also noticed the behaviour of not correctly filtering in the "View" filter
menu. This also does not correctly show only messages with "X-SPAM" headers.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Spam mail in inbox
2. Download e-mail
3. Spam appears in Inbox, not in Trash as specified in the respective rule.
4. Move spam to Inbox of account
5. Run filters on folder
6. Everything is correctly moved to Trash
Actual Results:  
The wrong thing, silly. :-)

Expected Results:  
Consistently filter messages as it did in 1.7.3.

This only appears after upgrading to 1.7.5.

I'm back on 1.7.3 now and everything is fine. This really is a problem only
coming with 1.7.5. Btw, I always installed the zip file releases into fresh,
empty directories...
