sylpheed filtering problem


I'm trying to process emails with this filter:
Code:
[execute command] xterm -e /home/me/bin/somescript.sh  %f
however, the script gets %f instead of filename.
what am I doing wrong?

thanks.

Should that be %F instead of %f

%F -> Filename
%f -> From

Just to be sure: I use Claws (a Sylpheed fork), so this might be different. When I create a filter using Execute there's an information button that, when clicked on, shows the symbols that can be used.
