List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:25:49 -0000 Dear all, First, I am extremely excited to be a part of this list now. notmuch has really helped me. Thank you go all individuals working to improve it and to help others to know how to use it. I would really like to know if a message has been replied to (e.g. using a certain message id). It seems that all I need to do is check for the "replied" tag. But often this tag is not there, even when there has been a reply (I have confirmed this through the thread display and checking the message that replied to the message to make sure it indeed has header "replied-to:"). I have looked in mutt, and also I see many situations where there is no 'r' flag, especially for emails sent from me. The following returns true: notmuch config get maildir.synchronize_flags So at least both are giving same answer, but I'm not sure why not saying "replied" thread is correct. What is incorrect for my way of thinking about "replied"? Do I misunderstand what it is supposed to do or am I not updating the flags correctly? Kind regards, Xu
