At a minimum, you could permit messages with a references: header
containing tokens from your own mail host. While not a precise function
(unless you bcc'd yourself on messages so that the filter could store your
own messageids, presuming some braindead MTA along the way doesn't change
them), it would be a reasonable method for identifying some reply messages.
Ironically, due to a long standing bug in Eudora (which has since been
duplicated in other mailers), this method probably wouldn't work for the
message to which I'm replying. Notice the bogus space near the end of
the In-reply-to header from the quoted message. Although most of the
times I've seen it occur have actually had a line break before the
space.
I reported this bug to Qualcomm several years ago, but they still
haven't fixed it.

It is easier to write an incorrect program
than understand a correct one.
