Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 297852

Steps to reproduce:

This is a new feature request - I would like to see nested or multi-level filtering in the message filters function to allow more granular filtering of messages. For instance, this would allow one to first locate all messages from a certain sender, then to locate within that set, messages that had a certain string in the subject, OR particular value in the body. In the current implementation, two separate filters would be required to do the above; multi-level or nested filtering would allow it to be done in one. As an alternative, AND and OR grouping of some type would allow the same thing to be one with one level. Either way would be fine with me, just needed more power in the filtering function.


Actual results:

n/a


Expected results:

n/a

Isn't this the same as bug 297852 ?

Yes, I agree this 'bug' (feature request) is the same - I did do some searches for filter-related suggestions but I guess I never tried the keyword 'boolean'.
