330597 - mail filtering doesn't handle wrapped header in mail messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124641

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Daniel B.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0

If in a mail message a long header line is wrapped onto multiple actual
lines, the mail filters won't "see" anything past the first actual line.

It seems that mail filtering is doing a raw line-by-line search instead
of properly reading the mail headers, parsing multiple actual lines as
one long logical line, and only then looking at the contents of that
reassembled long line.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a message message to the dev-tech-crypto.lists.mozilla.org list, whose 
   messages wrap the List-Id header onto multiple lines:

    List-Id: "discussion of mozilla's crypto code &
    	features" <dev-tech-crypto.lists.mozilla.org>

2.  Create a filter that checks whether the List-Id field contains the
    string "dev-tech-crypto.lists.mozilla.org" (and, of course, that 
    performs some action you can detect).

    Run the filter on the message and notice that the filter does _not_
    operate on the message.

3.  Change the filter to check for "discussion of mozilla".

    Run the filter on the message again and notice that now the filter 
    _does_ operate on the message.

Actual Results:  
See above.

Expected Results:  
The filter should have selected the message in both cases (regardless of 
whether the header field value was broken onto multiple lines or not).
