[MlMt] Using Rules to trim a Smart mailbox

[Kai Großjohann]

Send a response for yourself, then use the excellent search facilities 
to refer back to the original message, then act on the original message. 
  The response to yourself can be deleted after that; it only existed so 
that something unread would show up in this thread in your inbox.

Did that clarify?

I have been wanting to use this functionality for decades, but somehow I 
never could get myself to be disciplined about it :-/  It will be 
interesting to hear how it works out for you.
