This seems like a bug. If not, it's a UI issue:
I created a mailing, assigned 4 target groups to it, and checked the box that says 'Subscriber has to be in all target-groups'. Saved and all was fine.
I logged out, logged back in, and viewed the mailing: the checkbox was unchecked.
I really think the checkbox should be sticky (in my case, remain checked). Here's why: I edited my mail content and hit save, not knowing the checkbox had unchecked itself. the mail was a date-based mailing. the next day i had unwittingly sent an email to 40,000 people
i'm using 5.3.0 on linux.
'All target-groups' checkbox not sticky

How to reproduce the bug
Thanks for the quick response.
I did not use a template, i created a new mail from scratch. to be clear: i am talking about the UI on the 'mailing' tab, not the 'content' tab. So, the 4 target groups were for the entire mailing (not just part of it). I entered the contents of my email from the 'mailing' tab. The ill-behaved checkbox is on the 'mailing' tab, it shows up when you add 2 or more target groups and it says 'Subscriber has to be in all target-groups' next to it.
Here's how to duplicate the bug:
Create an mail (manual, not wizard). Enter contents on 'mailing' tab. make it date-based. add two target groups. check the 'Subscriber has to be in all target-groups' checkbox. Save. Log out.
Log back in. Look at the email. The checkbox will be unchecked. If you save, you will be OR-ing your target groups instead of AND-ing them.
If it helps, i checked mailing_tbl and for my email the column 'target_expression' changed from '17 & 13' to '17 | 13'
thanks.
