Yes, it's possible. The trick is that you need to use two smart 
mailboxes to do it. The first one you probably already have:

	All Messages:
		Date is within last 7 days

If we use the name “7 days” for the smart mailbox above then we can 
create another one as follows:

	All Messages:
		Thread-Id is in “7 days” Thread-Id

This smart mailbox picks every message in “All Messages” for which 
the Thread-Id (a value created by MailMate for all messages) is the same 
as a Thread-Id in the “7 days” mailbox.

If you only want your replies and not the full threads then you could 
probably do (untested):

	All Messages:
		In-Reply-To is in “7 days” Message-Id

Well, you would have to either merge mailboxes to get the original 
messages as well or maybe add:

		Message-Id is in “7 days” Message-Id

(Merging mailboxes would be more efficient and nicer in my opinion. Keep 
the intermediate mailboxes as children of the primary smart mailbox.)
