issue2550648 - partial fix for problem in this issue. Ezio Melotti reported that the expression editor allowed the user to generate an expression using retired values. To align the expression editor with the simple dropdown search item, retired values are now removed from the expression editor. Do we really want this though? Supposed a keyword is retired and I want to search for an issue with that retired keyword? Do we have a best policy document that says to remove retired keywords from all places it could possibly be used? It could be argued that the simple search dropdown is wrong and should allow selecting retired values.

def eml_to_mht(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    '''This auditor fires whenever a new file entity is created.

    If the file is of type message/rfc822, we tack onthe extension .eml.

    The reason for this is that Microsoft Internet Explorer will not open
    things with a .eml attachment, as they deem it 'unsafe'. Worse yet,
    they'll just give you an incomprehensible error message. For more 
    information, please see:

    Their suggested work around is (excerpt):

     WORKAROUND

     To work around this behavior, rename the .EML file that the URL
     links to so that it has a .MHT file name extension, and then update
     the URL to reflect the change to the file name. To do this:

     1. In Windows Explorer, locate and then select the .EML file that
        the URL links.
     2. Right-click the .EML file, and then click Rename.
     3. Change the file name so that the .EML file uses a .MHT file name
        extension, and then press ENTER.
     4. Updated the URL that links to the file to reflect the new file
        name extension.

    So... we do that. :)'''
