Details

It used to be that filter string comparisons were done case-insensitively but as part of idl'ization, I think Alec accidentally made the string compares case-sensitive (nsresult nsMsgSearchTerm::MatchString) - used to use case-insensitive nsString::Find but now uses case sensitive PL_strstr.
nominating as beta2 stopper - this will break lots of old filters.
