    Why?  Didn't you just get this message from the list?  If not, turn on
"ECHOPOST" on Listar for yourself and you will.  Tada, insta-threading with
all messages there.

    As for non-mailing lists I much prefer TB!'s approach.  CNTL-BACKSPACE has
it nab the MSGID from the In-Reply-To or References header and search for that
in the headers of the sent-mail folder.  If found, opens up that message which
is, tadaaaaaa, the response.

    Be that as it may, yes, it can be achieved with the filters and that is
where it should remain.  :)
