Filters on Sender can't check address books.

I want to do this because email lists often have the real author's address in "From" and the lists email address in "Sender".

So .... I have an "Address Book" that contains the email addresses of email lists, and I want a filter that looks for any of these and filters it to an "incoming email lists" folder.  I also want to recognize that anything on these email address lists is not spam - which I can't do from the "From" address since often I've never seen that address before.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools -> Message Filters -> New
2.From "is in my address book" 
3.Sender 
Actual Results:  
You can't specify the "Sender" is in an address book
