Bill, Why don't you set up your filters to move mails "Mail from my special Linux account [email protected] addressed to me personally." to a real folder and if you reply to such a mail, just move it from the Sent folder to this new Personal Mail folder. Then set up search folders to scan this Personal Folder in addition to the others. I am not trying to mock you or so, just trying to think in a straightforward way.
