290401 - "Subject Or Sender Contains" is useless in "Sent" Folder

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259914

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319

Mozilla provides a filter shortcut above the folder listings, labelled "Subject
or Sender contains: (textfield)" -- even in the "Sent" folder, where "Sender
contains" is not helpful in most cases.
I'd prefer if filter view switched to "Subject or *Recipient* contains:" in the
sent folder.

Reproducible: Always

Umm, sorry for the splitting; most people I know have folders where they file
all correspondence eg. with clients.
To filter out email conversation with one person (or company), it would be
extremely cool if the message filter could be switched to "sender, recipient or
subject contain:"...

I would be glad if I could help with fixing the bug, but currently I am
overwhelmed with some hundred .js files i extracted from the jars and really
don't know where to start, or even what to search for... :-/
