I have a similar configuration with many separate folders for mailing lists. I receive mail with fetchmail and employ procmail for sorting mail out (probably, not a common setup nowadays). My trick to get extra copies of direct replies to my own mails in mailing lists (I place such copies into a dedicated folder) is to keep a local cache of Message-IDs of my own sent messages and then check In-Reply-To: header in the received mails against this cache. It is done with a couple of relatively simple rules in ~/.procmailrc that make use of formail and grep. -- Stanislav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
