Turning off automatic starring of messages I send
Sometime in the past year or two, ONE of my four accounts started starring (putting the yellow star) on ALL emails I sent from that account.
This is not happening in the other accounts, including an account from the same university email system. If I send an email from the affected account (cischair) it is starred when viewed in cischair but not in the other account I sent it to (suthers). If I send an email from the other account, suthers, to cischair, it is not started in either account but my reply from cischair to suthers will be starred, again only when viewed in cischair, not in suthers.
It's very annoying to have to uncheck the stars on everything I send, and makes them useless.
Of course, I have looked in Account Settings for something that turns this on and off, and have not found anything.
Could you tell me where this might be set, or perhaps inadvertently by some keystroke combination (the bane of usability)?
Thanks - Dan

Wayne, thanks for the suggestion and yes it is a google based account, but this did not resolve it. According to the Thunderbird Tools/Message Filters widget, there are no filters enabled for this account. I turned on logging, sent a message (which was starred when it showed up), and checked the log again: nothing in the log. Any other ideas?

Can you post a screen shot?
No gmail filters?
Wayne, thanks so much. I was only looking for filters in Thunderbird. Turns out I had NEVER logged into the gmail interface for this account: I only accessed it via Thunderbird. (This is an account passed between chairs every 3 years.) When I did log in to gmail.hawaii.edu web interface, it gave me a first login info screen as if no one had logged in before. Eventually I found the filters screen that your screen dump shows and indeed a previous user had set up the star filter for emails sent from and to the same account. (Perhaps she was using messages to herself as a to-do list? Also found that she was forwarding to a now defunct gmail account, which explains error messages I was getting.)
I really appreciate your help but have a suggestion: don't assume too much and explain your questions. It took me some time to realize what you meant by "gmail filters' and where to find them.
