368180 - Message filters with use custom header entries does not work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184490

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[n/a]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird2 beta 2 (20070116)

A message filter, which uses non-standard custom header entries (e.g. X-Spam-Level) does not work at all. Filtering log shows nothing. Other filters, which are next on the filtering list (and which use standard header entries) work.

Error console shows nothing.

I use Thunderbird with IMAP account (with SSL).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create filter adding a new custom header value (or using previously added one). Action is not important.
2. Go to a folder containing messages which apply to defined filter rules.
3. Execute filtering in current folder.
Actual Results:  
Messages are not moved/starred/etc.

Expected Results:  
Messages should be treated as defined in message filter.

Looks like bug 184490.

Is it for sure? Bug 184490 was submitted over 4 years ago while filters with IMAP work fine with Thunderbird 1.5

Can you please verify it?

Re-read it, and i think it's likely a dupe. Though yes, something regressed 1.5 -> 2.0b2. (That bug is a bit vague on how it has/hasn't worked during the bug's life time - main point being it never worked very well.)

Feel free to reopen if you feel it's not a dupe.
