Don't forget References:
As ones own messages normally get delivered to oneself from a mailing
list, you should be able to construct a message-id cache of messages
which are From: YOU, then use those to match against References:. Some
stuff can still slip through the cracks if the listserve (or your own
host) experiences mail delays which result in mail arriving out of
sequence - the message From: you may arrive in your own inbox AFTER
on-list replies to it...
Additionally, whenever you receive a message authored by you which is on
a mailing list (in my case, setting LISTNAME using list-id.rc), you could
extract the Subject: line to a list-specific file and attempt to match it
against subsequent messages from that list. I have no specific code to
offer here, but I'm fairly certain something like this has been discussed
on this list in the past. This would help to catch replies on a thread
which themselves are not replies to your own post on that same thread:
OP
reply to OP from User 1
* Your reply
* Some user replies to you
Some user replies to OP or to the first reply (neither of which will
bear a References: including your info)
* Some user replies to the reply to you
Lines marked with asterisks would be picked up by a References: filter
(including the logic for From: you that seeds the rule), but the others
would not.
Thanks Sean,
this is definetely helpful, I will google more about References.
