Well, if you create a filter with the "equal to" clause, the clause is  
translated in "always true", and the corresponding action is applied  
to *EVERY* message.

So, if you create the filter "if subject is equal to 'prova' then  
delete message" the you lost every message you receive.

I think it is important to inclde the patch not only in lenny, but  
also in etch, if possible (we found the bug in our etch webmails).

I think this maybe a security fix, as it prevent data loss without notice.


Distinti saluti.
