            Bug ID: 308097
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.5
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: Manually editing a filter e-mail address causes KMail
                    filter to fail
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ab.kde at ntlworld.com
          Hardware: Mandriva RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: filtering
           Product: kmail2

If you edit a filter criteria tha is made semi-automatically, using the context
menu option 'Create Filter > Filter on From...' on a e-mail, it will failn
Because you can't edit e-mail addresses in the Available Filters pae, you have
to remake the filter once it's broken

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use an e-mail to make a filter based on the 'From:' field, using the
shortcut menu option 'Create filter > Filter on From...' The Filter Rules
dialog is opened with the skeleton of the filter filled in for you and the
e-mail address shown in the Available Filters pane on the left timmediate after
the colon i.e.
'<From>:e-mail at e-mail-address'. 
2. Edit the filter criteria in the right hand pane, add a space at the front,
and remove it with the backspace key (or do any other edit of the text or a
single character).  The e-mail address in the Available Filters pane now shows
a leading space character after the colon i.e.
'<From>: e-mail at e-mail-address'. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
The e-mail as shown in the Available Filters pane seems to be what is used, not
as shown in the Filter Criteria pane. The match is exact, including the leading
space character, which is never present in the e-mail address used to create
the filter, so the filter always fails

Expected Results:  
The Available Filters pane should not add a leading space character to email
addresses when the Filter Criteria are edited. It should duplicate any editing
done in the Filter Criteria pane. In the example given, it should follow the
backspace key, and remove the leading space from the e-mail address

There are any number of bug reports where this may be a contributory factor
