Filter used to have the filter match option body, which allowed filter to search the email body instead of the sender or the email address. I used the body option because there are many emails that came from one address but many are dealing with multiple topics and the body was the only place to filter out different purposes of each email to a different folder. Why was it removed? Please. Please. Please, return it. I need it --my flters are not behaving the same now.

Please, let me know when this is returned.

It exists and works fine on my system.

Try Help > Troubleshoot mode

To filter on the Body, you must download full message bodies, not just headers. Account Settings, Sync. & Storage, Message Sync., 'Keep messages in all folders...'.
