+\r
+Dear Suvayu and Austin,\r
+\r
+Thank you for your attempts to understand my goals. I apologize for\r
+the lack in the clarity of my previous messages. Thank you kindly for\r
+your persistence and thank you to Suvayu for suggestions on adding\r
+more information.\r
+\r
+I am indeed using mutt-kz, along with offlineimap, on Ubuntu 15.04. I\r
+have written the following information the other email thread I\r
+started (perhaps I should have added it as a reply here, but I thought\r
+it might be sufficiently a different topic). I will copy the\r
+information I gave there on my goal here:\r
+\r
+My goal is to do something like the following:\r
+notmuch search tag:reply-required and not tag:replied\r
+\r
+which was discussed here:\r
+http://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2010/002558.html\r
+\r
+However, instead of conditioning on tag:reply-required, I would like\r
+to look at this for a specific message. For example, if I write an\r
+important message, I can do the following:\r
+save the message id, and then in 5 days set a cron script to check\r
+whether my message was responded to. If it was not responded to I will\r
+take some action to notify myself (haven't decided what yet).\r
+It is the "If it was not responded to" part that this email thread is\r
+about. I am now realizing that I cannot use mutt's tag "replied"\r
+because I often send and read email from gmail or other IMap clients\r
+(e.g. phone). Because of this (I believe), the reply tag does not get\r
+set when it should (well not "should" but rather "when I want it to").\r
+For example, I often have\r
+\r
+abc\r
+->def\r
+ -> ghi\r
+\r
+where the message def does not have the "replied" tag, even though it\r
+was replied to (ghi replied to it). I think the reason is what I\r
+suggested above. Yes, indeed Austin was correct about where my\r
+misunderstanding was. I do indeed want to see if *any* reply was to a\r
+certain message id, but the "replied" tag is apparently for my own\r
+replying.\r
+\r
+Because I cannot use the "replied" tag (unless I have misunderstood),\r
+I thought I could just check using the message id with 'notmuch search\r
+repliedto:<messageid>', but Suvayu points out that searching for this\r
+is not supported.\r
+\r
+Kind regards,\r
+\r
+Xu\r
