370309 - Customized mail view ignores certain custom headers (containg a '-'?)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209488

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Till Dörges]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.9 (20060911)

I was trying to create a mail view showing all messages that were bounced to me by looking for '@' in the headers 'Resent-From' or 'Resent-To'.

The headers, however, seem to be ignored. Thunderbird shows all mails containing '@' *anywhere*. If I replace '@' by 'text', then TB shows all mails containing 'text' anywhere.

When I try to create a custom view with header containing no '-' (e.g. 'Received') TB behaves as expected.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a mail view with a custom header.
2. I tried Resent-To and Resent-From, but I suspect *any* custom header with a '-' will do.
3. Select the view just created.
Actual Results:  
TB ignores the custom header, and filters for the text supplied *anywhere* in the body of the mail.

Expected Results:  
TB should just show those mails containing the text in the header.

This is fixed for TB 2.0.
