I think my reply was not clear enogh. Probably I had more thoughts in my mind 
than I wrote down. ;-)
My idea was to change the field name in the filter ui (and hence the value of 
the pref) to match the strings we already have as gettext string.
E.g. the "to" field should be renamed to "To" or "To:". This is what will be 
stored in prefs. In the filter listing will be shown this value or the 
translated version if you have another language selected.

I hope this makes things clearer,
Jan.
