Outgoing rules operate on messages you yourself are sending out - actually
have just sent out (the "outgoing" message - really means "outgone"). It is
impossible that such a message has been replied to yet by anyone.
I think what you must mean is that you want to highlight (highlight? color?)
the original message to which your outgoing message is a reply? They don't
work that way - the rules operate only on the message you are sending out.
(If what you mean is you want to highlight only replies you send, not "new
messages", that would be easy enough: make a category in
Edit/Categories/Assign Categories, called "Replies". Then make an Outgoing
rule
If <Subject> <Starts with> <Re: >
Then <Set category> <Replies>
and every message you send out which is a reply will be colored with the
Replies category.)
An AppleScript could, however, be written which would work to do what I
_think_ you want (categorize the message to which you are replying), and the
rule then would be to Run AppleScript on All Messages. The script itself
would check to see if the "outgoing" (outgone) message had an In-Reply-To
header, and, if so, would set a "Replied To" category to the
already-selected message in the open message folder if its Message-ID
corresponded to this In-Reply-To header of the reply.
Is that what you actually want, or something else?
