(This bug imported from BugSplat, Netscape's internal bugsystem. It
was known there as bug #333657

Imported into Bugzilla on 01/27/99 17:24)
Linux RTM. This report came from a newsgroup.
The user created a new filter -- one to delete the messages where the subject
contained a particular URL, and she cut-n-pasted the URL into the text field
when she created it. Unfortunately, she also cut-n-pasted a carriage-return
before the URL. The mailrule file was written out with an extra return in the
condition field. The next time she tried to edit filters, she got the message
"Warning: Null child passed to XtManageChildren," and she couldn't see or get to
her filters at all after that.
As a workaround, we manually edited her mailrule file, which restored things,
but perhaps we should fix this for 4.51.
I'm trying not to wonder how many other fields this could affect.
Assigned to marek, cc sspitzer, because I don't know how sustaining engineering
is staffed or broken down yet.

Will not be fixed in 4.5x. Assiging to daver for consideration in 5.0.
set tfv to 5.0 since this bug will never be fixed in a maintenance release, per
marek. Can change tfv to something more granular later on. Also, I'm not sure
how we're going to work with bugzilla, but this bug can be moved there later if
needed.

Maybe the filter I/O code could fix this by doing some data validation.

God knows who this bug belongs to in the new world order...I was thinking of
porting the filter code, but it doesn't belong before dog food, and also
requires porting the search code.

Didn't you port the filter code? :-) Reassigning to bienvenu, and pushing to M8.

No idea if this bug is still valid, and can't test too well without a UI -
moving off to m12, especially since there's no xfe anymore.

We'd want to test this on all platforms when implemented so changing to ALL.

I don't think this needs to be fixed before PR1

We don't even know if this bugs exists in 5.0, since we have no UI. Moving to
m20.
