I think this would work:
transformation = "($ALL_MESSAGES xor $SENT).filter(#thread-id =[c]
$mainOutline.#thread-id) or $ALL_MESSAGES.filter(#thread-id =[c]
($mainOutline and ($ALL_MESSAGES xor $MAILING_LISTS)).#thread-id)";
First part is the same as before. The second part does not exclude
messages in $SENT for any selected messages which are not in the special
?Mailing Lists? mailbox. You can see that the query language lacks a
'not' operator to make this less cryptic (to explicitly state
`$mainOutline and not $MAILING_LISTS`).
The first part could be altered as well which may make it faster (and
look more like your request):
transformation = "($ALL_MESSAGES xor $SENT).filter(#thread-id =[c]
($mainOutline and $MAILING_LISTS).#thread-id) or
$ALL_MESSAGES.filter(#thread-id =[c] ($mainOutline and ($ALL_MESSAGES
xor $MAILING_LISTS)).#thread-id)";
The nice thing is that it does not depend on the selected mailbox, but
only on the selected message(s). (If it works ? I haven't tested it.)
