This is Netscape Communicator 4.79.
I'm trying to add items that can be filtered while reading news (usenet) articles. The Filter Rules dialog window that comes up when editing / creating filter rules for usenet posts looks identical to the dialog window for email filters, except that the choices for filter-items for usenet is limited or locked to just 2 items (subject and sender).
Adding this to both prefs.js and liprefs.js:
---------
user_pref("mailnews.customHeaders", "Organization");
---------
Does nothing (ie - it does not cause "Organization" to appear in the list of filterable items).
If I manually add the intended filter rule to the group-specific .dat file, for example to alt.comp.anti-virus.dat:
---------------
name="dizum filter"
enabled="yes"
description="Delete the putrid stench from the lusers that post to usenet via dizum."
type="4"
action="Delete"
condition=" OR (Organization,contains,dizum.com)"
--------------
The rule shows up in the list of message filers for that newsgroup, but when I try to edit that rule, I get this pop-up window:
----------
Organization: Had been deleted from the global header list. Would you like to add it back for future use with old and new filters. (OK) (Cancel)
----------
Selecting (OK) then opens up the filter rules dialog window, where (again) the only 2 filterable objects are subject and sender. Organization still does not appear, even though it remains in prefs.js and liprefs.js.
Is this a known bug?
What is the "global header list" that is mentioned in the popup window? Is that a separate file?
