Release: 8.5.3

Reproducible: Always

There seems to be some issues when using Mail Rules in a mail database using the Lotus Notes 8.5.3 client.

If you set up a new rule and use "Form" Contains "Memo" for the selection, once you save it in the Notes Client, it shows up as "G contains Memo" on the Rules view.

If you go into the same Mail Rule using the web browser interface, the term "Form" does not even show up as an option under Selection criteria.

As far as I know, the problems with using Mail Rules really started to show up once we upgraded to the Notes 8.5.3 client.

Also when using the Notes 8.5.3 client, do NOT try to Enable or Disable from the Rules view. The Notes Client will freeze up and you will have to cancel out of the Notes Client from Task Manager (at least when using Windows 7). If you must do this (enable or disable a rule), do this from the web browser interface for that mail database, not the notes client.
