Just as a side comment, one trick I found very helpful in my mail filters is to treat any message with one of my message-ids in the references as a personal message as far as mail notifications. This way I get notifications for any message on a thread following a post of my own. This is easy in Gnus since the message id has the sending hostname and also the first few characters has a base64 encoded copy of the unix userid. You would have to figure out how to recognize message-ids from your MUA. -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
