285039 - Filters do not mark newsgroup messages as read correctly

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Wagner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: version 1.0 (20041206)

I have a filter that marks messages I've sent to a newsgroup as read.  It works
correctly, but sometimes leaves behind "artefact" unread messages.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Join a newsgroup (alt.test is a good one).
2. Make a filter for the newsgroup that marks any messages coming from you as read.
3. Send a couple of messages.
4. Check the newsgroup for new messages, then look and see that everything is
marked as read.
5. Exit Thunderbird, then open it again and look at the list of newsgroups.

Actual Results:  
The entry a.test is bolded and has a number (of unread messages) in parentheses.
 Clicking on "a.test" makes the number of unread messages drop to zero.

Expected Results:  
The number of unread messages should be zero right away.
