Hallo Stuart,

On Tue, 1 Apr 2003 15:09:06 +0100GMT (1-4-03, 16:09 +0200, where I
live), you wrote:

I'm not if I understand your question correctly, so I'll go to basics
explaining the way it works.
Suppose I want to filter this whole thread.
I go to your first message.
It's message-id is: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Now I'll go to the sorting office and create an incoming filter that
triggers on that message-id (only the message-id itself, not the
header) in the kludges (that's TB-talk for headers)
Since TB supports threading, my reply included these header:
| References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
so my message includes the filtered message-id,
Your answer had this header:
| References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
|         <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
so it triggers our filter again.
This message includes:
| References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
|         <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
|         <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
so you'll see that every new message includes all previous
message-id's.

I hope it's clear to you.

Yep. Note that if you want the messages to be processed by one filter
that sorts them into a folder and another that marks them as read, you
need to check 'continue processing with other filters' on the options
tab of the filter that's encountered first.
