I read your earlier discussion of this approach. For me, the need to tie the tickle date to the original date of the email made things too complicated. The particular implementation I'm trying to imitate is the one used by MailPilot. It's a pretty problematic mail program in many respects, bu

That clarifies, thanks. I think that works for at least some of the things I have. When it's one or two messages, that seems to work well. When it's, say, 15 interrelated messages, I'm less sure. I'll have to experiment. Thanks! Bart On 28 Feb 2015, at 16:01, Kai Großjohann wrote: Send
