Public bug reported: I have a folder with emails from Launchpad regarding Launchpad bug. All of those emails have, among others, this two headers:
X-Launchpad-Bug-Reporter X-Launchpad-Bug-Commenters I added both of those fields as a custom fields inside Thunderbird's 'Customized' headers (in the Search window). I've got over 10k emails in that folder, and all of the emails contain both those headers, and a lot of them contain single letter 'a' as a header content. When I create a search that looks like this: X-Launchpad-Bug-Commenters contains "a" Thunderbird returns almost all emails. But, when I create a search that looks like this: X-Launchpad-Bug-Reporter contains "a" no emails are returned, although there is a lot of emails whose "X -Launchpad-Bug-Reporter" contains an 'a'.
