It would then even be possible to specify how "deep" | you're willing to go.

Yes. | If you see any way of implementing this in Thunderbird with a very common | server name like aioe or motzarella, I'm interested. I suspect this isn't feasible with Thunderbird alone (unless it has funkiness of which I'm not aware - I'm not a TBird user). Measuring indirectness is tricky with most mail filter rules; you need to see your message-id specificly and then count ids past that. For a fixed limit (eg "more than 3 replies beyond mine") that's easy enough with a regexp, _provided_ you can embed your post's message-id in it. That means a rule per post, or a humungous rule with all your message-ids. Nasty. And of course the rule needs to be constantly updated... So the only efficient approach needs intergrating into your mail/news system, which for you probably means entirely within TBird. | > I also saw that the References field is not always present.

And the replies are then very easy to see, being adjacent. If does mean you need to keep your own messages in the folder where the discussion is taking place, but then I do that anyway. (And I also have mutt configured to collapse threads where all the messages are "read", so such threads consume only one line of display.

Those (3) and (5) lines near the top are collapsed "read" threads with 3 and 5 messages respectively. There is colouring too, indicating what's read/unread/from-me/flagged. I read email backwards to avoid missing replies (specificly, to avoid replying early to a thread where someone else has already made whatever point I had in mind). | > I take the position that if the References field is not present in a | > usenet article, it is not a followup. | | I thought that Outlook didn't have this field but I rechecked ad can't | find any.
