No. I guess something like that could be obtained by some elaborate 
system which uses a tag to temporarily put an email into a 
single-message smart mailbox and then use that on the right side of a 
“is in” comparison, but that sounds a bit messy :-)

I guess the “is in” comparison method could offer a special “This 
Message” virtual mailbox, but it seems like overkill 
(implementation-wise) if “from = to” is the only real use case for 
such a feature. Then again, if it was extended to also support “Parent 
Message”, “This Thread”, and other variants then it might make 
sense to add... (Implementation-wise, I'm afraid it's far from 
straightforward.)
