Finding all messages in a Mail thread
BrentN | Jul 1 2007
I'm looking for a bit of Mail.app-fu to solve this annoyance. I have a MailTag called "following," that I use to mark threads from high-volume lists that I care about. It saves me a TON of time, since I have a couple of Smart Folders that let me quickly find these. The problem is that when I look in these folders, I only see the particular message I tagged, when it would be more useful to see the whole thread. My first thought was to try an applescript, but Mail's scripting dictionary doesn't know about threads. Does anyone have a way to either 1) quickly find all messages that are in the same thread as the selected or 2) go from a message in a smart folder to a view of the message in its actual folder location? Of course, if there is a totally different way to solve the problem, I'd be interested in hearing that too. 5 Comments

Geeklady, Thanks for you response, but this totally doesn't address my issue. I know how to get Mail to -sort- by threads. What I can't do is take a message from a smart folder and return all the messages in its thread. I would like to be able to to do this so I can quickly find a specific message (which I define by a MailTag, but could also be by searching for a keyword in the text) and have it return the entire thread, rather than by having to select the message. Essentially, its a smart folder for threads.. BrentN » POSTED IN:
