471664 - missing string in the "Filter Rules" dialog window

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

Description

[Underpass]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081231 Shredder/3.0b2pre

In version 3.0 there is a missing string in the interface. This string is still present in the 2.0 branch and is in the "Filter Rules" dialog window.

In the 2.0 version, to add a new message Filter you must specify:

1) the name of the filter ("Filter name")
2) the message to apply the filter to ("For incoming messages that" and subsequent rule settings)
3) the action to perform ("Perform these actions")

In version 3 a new parameter has been introduced: "Aply filter when" (checking manually, automatically or both), but it seems that this new string has taken the place of "For incoming messages that".

So in the trunk version, the interface in my opinion seems to lack of logic. The old string should be restored.

Reproducible: Always

Anybody know what revision change made this happen?  I'd be interested to see if it was just a mistake or something else.

Bug 440635 - when you ask the ui-reviewer why he approved of it, do it very quietly or people will think you're weird ;)
