I don't see anything thunderbird there. I have some macular degeneration
but wouldn't call myself blind, yet...
Thanks David.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

You need to tell find(1) where to start searching via the
"starting-point" argument This incantation makes it explicit that
find(1) should search the ".thunderbird" subdirectory in your home
directory:
2024-01-14 16:56:50 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ find $HOME/.thunderbird -iname '*filter*'
/home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/msgFilterRules.dat
/home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-3.net/msgFilterRules.dat
/home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-2.net/msgFilterRules.dat
/home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-1.net/msgFilterRules.dat
/home/dpchrist/.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat
Once you have found the files, you can look inside for the bug.
