Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 275558

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

When mail reader is first launched and it get's the message from the (IMAP)
server and it should run all filters configured for that inbox, but it does not
apply every message filter configured. For some reason some filters work from
the beginning, but some do not. When filters are applied manually by choosing
"Run filters on folder" mail reader does use the filters and follows the filter
rules corretly.

I have five filters configured of which 3 is marked active. Of those two seems
be experiencing this behaviour. Common for these problematic rules is that they
use custom filter as a rule.

This problem started when I upgraded to Mozilla 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 ie. 1.7.3 did
not have this problem. 

The rules are for Bugtraq http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1 and EOS mailing
lists http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm.

Filter rules:

Bugtraq:
"match any of the following"
List-Id contains bugtraq.list-id.securityfocus.com
Move to folder: Bugtraq on local folders

EOS list:
"match any of the following"
X-Been-Here containts [e-mail]
Move to folder: EOS on local folders


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have active message filter
2. launch mail and get new messages that the filter should find


Actual Results:  
Message filters do not get run/applied 

Expected Results:  
Filters should have run and followed the filter rules

I have two inboxes of which one does not have any rules configured. Junk mail
filter is active on both inboxes

Here's the actual filter configuration file msgFilterRules.dat:

version="8"
logging="yes"
name="DTM"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/DTM"
condition="OR (subject,contains,DTM: ) OR (subject,contains,DTM )"
name="Bugtraq"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Bugtraq"
condition="OR (\"List-Id\",contains,bugtraq.list-id.securityfocus.com)"
name="EOS list"
enabled="yes"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/EOS"
condition="OR (\"X-Been-Here\",contains,[e-mail])"
name="Vivake"
enabled="no"
type="1"
action="Move to folder"
actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Vivake"
condition="OR (\"Mailing-List\",contains,vivake)"

Looks like Bug 275558 "Filter based on custom header doesn't work automatically
after upgrade to Moz 1.7.5". Please wait for the forthcoming Mozilla 1.7.6
release (next week or so) or upgrade immediately to pre-1.7.6 builds to fix that
regression.

upgrade to the latest 1.7 build (pre 1.7.6) from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7/
