I can confirm seeing this bug on Mozilla 1.3 and various nightlies leading up to
its release on my Windows XP machine. I filter based on a variety of custom
headers, some of which always work, and some of which always fail.

I do see the problem for the "List-Id", "Reply-To" and "Return-Path" custom
headers. I don't see the problem for the custom headers "X-BeenThere" and
"X-MirroredBy".

All of these custom header filters have worked for me on older builds.

Also, for what it's worth, I think that bugs #201244 and #184490 are likely to
be duplicates of each other. #20128 may be as well, but it's not clear if the
filter was a custom header or not.

For a guess, is mozilla possibly ignoring custom headers that don't have "X-" as
a prefix? I know that's a fairly common convention for a lot of custom headers
that I see in free mailing lists. Some of the proprietary, or less mainstream
free list servers I see don't use the "X-" prefix, and those are the ones I'm
having problems with.
