'Saved search' not working

Hi

Thunderbird 1.5.0.7, Linux.

I've set some saved search folders up with custom headers
('Envelope-To'), but they're not returning any results even though I
know for sure there are applicable messages. They work fine using the
standard headers (such as 'to', 'subject' etc)

I also know that this custom header works fine with the 'rules' option,
so it's not a case of misspelling etc.

Any idea why this isn't working?

Thanks

Are the folders in which these messages exist indeed included in your
search criteria?

Hi

Yes, the folders are included. If I edit the filter so that it's using
one of the 'standard' headers (such as 'to', 'from' etc) then the folder
shows the correct results.

And I can't understand why the same criteria works fine when using it as
a 'rule'... What's even more odd is that if i use the 'Edit' > 'Find' >
'search messages' option, and then apply the same criteria it finds the
correct messages. However, when I then use the option to 'save this
search as a folder', and then click on this saved folder, the folder
shows no results.

Bizarre...!
