Nope; the original and reply are in the same IMAP mailbox, which is 
listed on the smart mailbox's "Mailboxes" tab. I confirmed I haven't 
accidentally misfiled one by displaying the smart mailbox's "source 
mailbox" column.

There are six active conditions, all under an "Any of the following are 
true" heading. I don't see any way that one of those could interfere 
with another.

Heh, stuff does happen, but I actually tried copying the name both from 
the original message itself and from the "contains" box of the Quoted 
Body Text condition and pasting it into the Unquoted Body Text 
condition, just to be sure that I hadn't somehow mistyped. Nope.

I'll hold off on the Reset command and on rebuilding the database in 
case Benny wants to weigh in. But thanks for pointing me toward them!
