When adding / editing a new filter, it is possible to specify Contains and
Doesn't contain rules.

In certain cases, it is useful to be able to specify a rule where a field
equals a value, instead of simply containing it.

Real-life example:
- I subscribe to a list called "Some List".
- The mailing list comes through with a subject of Some List.
- I also sometimes receive messages from business partners, with subjects
such as "Saw this on Some List...".
- If I set up a rule that moves "Some List" messages to my some-list
folder, I have no way to specify that I only want to match the exact
subject "Some List", except for the current "Contains" rule.
- Therefore the messages from my business partners also get included in
the filter.
