If you have threading on, when you l_imit your view to messages with that have that ~h eader, you will see them threaded according to the normal algorithm, which is probably what you want. i.e. if your custom header is X-Foo:, you can use: l~hX-Foo and only see X-Foo mail. If you only want to see X-Foo: barbaz, then l~hX-Foo: barbaz is your friend. Introducing new parameters into the threading algorithm is likely to be... tricky. If this were a major part of my workload, I would probably use a sieve or other mailfilter to append the value of X-Foo to Subject, then drop all the X-Foo messages into their own folder, and possibly write an outbound filter (replacing sendmail) to remove the value of X-Foo from the end of Subject. -dsr-
