[Design] Recognizing a response, and group filters

[Philip Trauring]

It would be nice if Chandler could recognize a response to a message 
that was sent out from itself. In other words, if I send a question to 
a mailing list, I obviously want to know when someone responds to that 
message. Right now that means periodically checking the mailing list to 
see if someone has responded.

It would be nice if Chandler could compare all incoming messages to 
those that had been sent out and notify me of a response, which 
presumably is more interesting to me than a random posting. This could 
be for all e-mail, or it could be set up for specific filters (so, for 
example, it only notifies me of response to e-mails in mailing lists).

How Chandler notifies me is a different issue. It could be a visual or 
audio notification, it could put a virtual copy of the message in a 
high-importance mailbox, whatever. That should be configurable within 
Chandler.

This brings up a different issue, which is that different types of 
e-mail should be able to be defined within groups (which I am sure is 
already being done) such as work, friends, family, mailing lists, etc. 
and certain filters should be able to be applied across the entire 
group (such as the above described action).

My $.02,
