[MlMt] Condition for Last-in-Thread

[Zvi Biener]

Thanks, All.

I have a similar but slightly different solution.

I think Marc’s solution will show all messages related to recent 
threads.

I want only the last message. I tried Alain solution for a while 
(tagging outgoing messages that require a response), but I couldn’t 
get my muscle memory used to tagging outgoing mail. Instead, I just have 
a mailbox with messages that are sent by me and are last in their 
thread. I think Alain’s solution is the only one that can weed out 
messages that require no responses (e.g., a mere “Thanks” email), 
but my solution is close enough for me (given that I can’t get used to 
tagging).

Here’s what I did.

I have one smart mailbox called “All Sent Mail”. It includes 
everything sent by me. It is different from the normal “Sent 
Messages” mailbox because I use MM to auto-move my replies into the 
mailbox of the message they are replies to. The “All Sent Mail” 
smart mailbox catches all messages I’ve sent, regardless of their 
mailbox.

Another smart mailbox is called “All Received Mail”. This is all 
email that is not initiated by me.

The third mailbox takes “All Sent Mail” as the input mailbox. It has 
the following conditions:

+ Message is not replied

+ Message-id is not in “All Received Mail” References. [In human: if 
some received message already references a message that I wrote, that 
message should be excluded].

+ A time condition

The “Message is not replied” is necessary, I think, in cases where 
thread split. I’m not sure about this, try for yourself.

YMMV.
