Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

In a mail filter, I should be able to sanitize html (run mail through Gecko
engine), in order to enhance manual spam filtering. I also should be able to use
regular expressions in the search text field, not only filter for texts like 'foo'.

Reproducible: Always

regex is a dupe of easy to find bug 19442.
What Do you exactly mean with the sanitize html filter ?
(display it later as text, convert the html to text...)

(and the next time please only one issue/enhancement per bug report)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
