Thanks for the ping, Stuart. I have not thought about this for awhile, but jumping from comment 101 to the referenced bug 363238, that bug is only implemented for Thunderbird 19 and later, so the fix would not be in the current shipping product, but would be available in the current beta.
Yet that fix is only automating the workarounds mentioned in bug 101. That is, when you define a new custom header to use in filters, that custom header will only work for future messages unless you rebuild the folder. But the current situation (that is, what works in the current Thunderbird beta) is that when you define these custom headers, then they will work for all messages received after that point. They can work for past messages if you rebuild the folder. Any other functionality is very difficult to implement given the current design of the backend, and is unlikely to get any additional work for the foreseeable future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119899 Title: After-the-fact Filters on custom header won't match for IMAP messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/119899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
