Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

Right clicking on sender in an email, and choosing to filter it by moving it to a folder does not work.
I have tried both imap and pop.

Anyone can confirm this?

Okay, I have found the problem - it is not a functional problem but a usability problem.
When I right click on 'To' field or the 'Reply-To' in a message, and choose 'Create filter from message...' it register the right adress I have right clicked on, but the field is the From field.

I have attached a screen shot to show it more clearly.
