You missed something else which I wrote: > > It is a bit more complex than just filtering mail into various > > boxes based on headers since you need to store all the Message-Ids > > of follow-up messages as they come in. The reply may not contain the original Message-Id, it may only contain the Message-Id of the subthread and so on. So you do need to store the Message-Id's of all previous messages in the thread in order to do something special with any new message in the thread. You can extract these Message-Id's with "formail". So it is really an exercise in "procmail" as Girish has said.
