Another idea: I realize that my suggestions also matches non-threads (single messages list messages) - this may not be what you wanted. One way to make sure the messages is part (and parent) of a thread is by first letting mutt set the thread state itself. This can be done by collapsing all threads, then mathing for messages that: 1) are part of a collapsed thread, and 2) is not a reply Pattern: (~v !~h In-Reply-To) This pattern uses the fact mutt already decided which messages are part of a thread (when you toggled the collapse state), adding only the exclusion of the In-Reply-To header - which should make it a bit faster as well as "the safest" (iirc?) way to check for threads... -- kchr |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Kim Christensen |O|O|O| http://technopragmatics.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campain - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
