Since the rss reader was introduced into thunderbird it is impossible to run
filters on the "News & Blogs" rootfolder. For the moment I've to run the filter
on every single folder by hand. That's quite unuseable :-(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a filter for the "News & Blogs" folder
2. Select the "News & Blogs" folder in the folder panel
3. Open the extras menu 
Actual Results:  
The action "run filters on folder" is grayed out

Expected Results:  
The action "run filters on folder" should be useable

Note that you cannot run filters on the "account" for mail or news, either.

I've got a similar problem with filters for a *newsgroup* account. I can create filters, but I cannot run them, because when I select a newsfolder that possibility is grayed out.
