[MlMt] Threading Confusion

[Marco Carmosino]

The "threaded inbox" smart folder described by Benny is actually perfect 
for my purposes, thanks, and it is indeed working dynamically, sorry for 
the confusion.

The only issue remaining is mailing lists: there are two "starting" 
messages for the thread, one reflected by the mailing list and one from 
my Sent Messages folder, showing up in my "Threaded Inbox". MailMate 
hangs the thread off the copy of the initial message from my Sent 
Messages folder. And the same will happen with this message: two copies 
of my reply will show up in the threaded inbox, one from Sent Messages 
and one from the list.

I suppose I could just work with mailing lists completely separately, by 
moving anything from a mailing list out of my inbox and using the 
mailing lists smart folder. Since my replies are bounced to me, I'll 
have the whole conversation in there without having to match thread-id 
anyway.

How do people deal with this in MailMate? Currently I've got "thread-id 
is in Inbox Thread-id", "list-id does not exist", and "Source > Path is 
not Drafts", so that replies to mailing list threads that are still 
living in the underlying INBOX folder don't show up. Of course, this 
splits my inbox in a bit of a weird way. I think ideally I'd prefer 
"live" threads from mailing lists in my Threaded inbox, without the 
duplicate messages.

Currently I'm trying to figure out some way to write "exclude messages 
in Drafts and Sent messages that are in reply to or sent to any mailing 
list", I think this would achieve what I want.

Thanks,

-- Marco
