I once used my name to filter out, but that does not always work.
Is there some way to achieve this purpose?

I'm not sure what exactly you want to do, but if the subject is right and you want to filter threads you are part of, the easiest thing to do is to examine the In-Reply-To and References headers.

:0
* 9876543210^0 In-Reply-To:.*kreme.com
* 9876543210^0 References:.*kreme.com
{
 # Do wahtever here I want to do with messages
 # where I took part in the thread
}

Won't work 100% as some lists strip out those headers (yes, really) but without doing a LOT of work, and doing something to outbound mail, it is likel the best it's going to get.
