Should work fine in most cases. Unfortunately, not all message ID
are in that format. I've seen message IDs not ending with a number
before the "@".

It seems that those web-based emailers (Yahoo mail and the like)
don't.

I personally use a different scheme. I don't want all messages
following up on mine to be color coded, only those directly replying
to mine. Additionally, I want messages mentioning my name to be
color coded as well, regardless to whom they are replying. So,
here's my filter:
String Location Presence
TBUDL|TBBETA|TBOT Sender Yes
["Ming"] Anywhere Yes
(Other mailing lists in alternative sets). Note the square brackets
and quotation marks are necessary.
I use "Ming" instead of "Ming-Li" because sometimes people call me
"Ming" only. This would nevertheless fail miserably if my sister
(her name is Ming-Yi) signs on to the same mailing lists, or if I'm
in a group of which the topic is about Chinese history, for there
may be many messages about the "Ming Dynasty". . Fortunately nothing
like these has happened so far, and I'll deal with it when it comes.
