is rumored to have said:
I have the situation that sometimes people don't came back to me in
time, so I'd like to implement a smart mailbox that shows me e-mails
where I'm waiting for a follow up.
The idea is to have a mailbox that shows me sent messages who did not
receive a reply yet. I already tried using "Message is not replied" as
condition but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
Right, because the "Replied" flag is set by a MUA on a delivered message
that you have replied to, and that event does not propagate back to the
sender in any way except for the reply itself.
Any suggestions?
I don't see an obvious solution but what you need to detect is the
non-existence of any message with the same Thread-ID as something you
sent AND is newer OR has a In-Reply-To or References header citing a
message ID of a message you sent.
I think I would do that by way of a custom keyword, but I haven't
thought it through completely. (and won't, because I'm mostly incapable
of doing deadlines usefully.)
