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