It makes sense. It would then even be possible to specify how "deep"
you're willing to go. For instance, if somebody is replying to somebody
who is replying, etc. to somebody who's replying to your message, you
might not be interested.

If you see any way of implementing this in Thunderbird with a very common
server name like aioe or motzarella, I'm interested.

I thought that Outlook didn't have this field but I rechecked ad can't
find any. My error, I suppose.
