Maillist Email Parser and Email Filter will save without a proper name
Smallish bug. When saving a new Email Filter or Email Parser the filter or parser does not test for the presence of a proper name and will save the filter or parser with a null name. The filter or parser is editable and deletable but has no name. The Bounce Templates do not exhibit this same problem.

Yup ... the name is only to help the admin remember what the filter was intended for, its not used by the code per se
We could enforce having a name, but it was intended to be optional ... maybe just use N/A if no name is provided?

One option (that may help or may just irritate, depends on the person), could be if the name field is empty, use the first...20 chars of the text as title.
Many are kind of used to expect this behaviour (see for example how MS Word uses the first sentence or title of the first page as "suggested" name of the file on saving a new one).
