How can I restore the delete filter query in "Message Filter" after I (stupidly) killed it?

In Message Filters one option is Delete the filter. It used to ask before deleting. I check "Don't ask this again" and wish I had not checked that box. Is there a way to restore the delete query option again. Thanks, --Ed

If you open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and copy mailnews.filters.confirm_delete into the Search box, you will probably see that its value is 'false'. Double-click the preference to switch it to true.
