Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.6-1
Severity: normal
Some times when I edit an existing filter I get the cryptic message
"This filter cannot be saved because some search terms are invlude in the
current context". If I click on "OK" a couple of times the edit happens anyway.
I can get the message up even if I don't actually change anything.
The message tells me nothing at all, and doesn't tell me how to avoid it
happening again. What it does do it raise questions:
1) What does this message mean in plain English?
2) Why can't the filter be saved?
3) Which search terms are invalid?
4) In what way are they invalid?
5) What is a context?
6) Which of the contexts is/are current?
7) How do I avoid this message from appearing?
