The "starts with" subject filter does not match the initial string as presented
to the user in the subject line. 

I looked at the raw message source and observed that Subject header line
was:

Subject: foo

but if you set the subject starts with filter to "foo" it fails to match, but if
you set it to " foo" it matches. It appears some part of the code is stripping
leading whitespace and others are not.

Although RFC 822 would say the leading white space after the field-name and
colon is technically part of the subject field body common sense and user
expectation would say leading white space does not count when matching the
beginning of a subject. The leading white space should be stripped (or ignored)
either when performing a "starts with" match.

Verified on Fedora Core 6 as well as Rawhide.

It works fine for search folders.  I have countless search folders for
particular bugs that are configured as:

   Subject  Starts With  "[Bug xxxxxx]"

Strange that Evolution would not be using the same mechanism for evaluating
filter rules and search folder rules.

Closing as UPSTREAM since an equivalent bug report exists upstream.  I will
continue to track the problem there.  Please refer to [1] for further updates.

Bug description:
  The filters that you can define in evolution to put E-mails into
  different folders no longer works.  I think this has something to do
  with the 2.6.1-0ubuntu1 upgrade.
