I want to setup mail message filters based on body text.
It is an IMAP mail account.
When creating/editing filters, I only get offered header fields to
filter on. When selecting those, the filtering works OK. However,
there is no header that I can use for my particular filtering need.
After searching, I read a technical article that says I need to
add a custom header named "Body" and it will be used to filter on
body text. It does not appear to work.
Is the name "Body" translated in localized versions of Seamonkey?
(the predefined headers appear to be translated in the selection list)
If so, how can I find what translation is being used for "Body"?
Is filtering on body text actually working for IMAP mail accounts
in current Seamonkey versions?
I've never been able to get a Custom Filter of any kind to work in SM,
so I'm left wondering just what and how they are supposed to work...
Custom headers work OK here, I can add a header that is not in the
list (e.g. X-Spam-Status added by the spamfilter) and filter on it.
What I cannot get to work is filtering on the body text.
Just tried and it worked:
1) Created a test folder "Test" under Inbox;
2) Created a new filter that would move messages whose body contains the
word "transparency" to "Test";
3) Ran the filter on my Inbox.
Two messages were moved. On examination, both met the criterion. I moved
them back, deleted the filter, and deleted the empty test folder.
I can't say for sure that there were no other messages meeting the
filter criterion, but at least for some, it did work.
I have dozens of other input filters that have worked well for years.
Some move messages to certain folders, some mark as read, some move to
Junk or Trash, some move from one account to another, etc. Since I
routinely get 300-400 mail messages a day, I couldn't cope without this
invaluable aid.
