Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.8

MS Outlook does not allow users to make the fundemental distinction between
received messages which have been "Replied to" and those still awaiting a response.

Perhaps Thunderbird can offer this facility.

(A previous bug report referred to the "logical" sequence of reading/dealing
with incoming mail. This focus on the user's decision making processes is the
key to previous successful features in Mozilla products.)

sort by the status column. (You may have to add it using the column picker in
the upper right hand corner of the main mail window). Replied is a status, and
if you sort by status, all the replied messages will appear in order.

The default theme in Thunderbird shows different icons for messages which have 
been replied to, forwarded, and not acted on.

You can also create a MailView based on Status which will limit the display to 
only those messages with the specified Status.

If you really want to place the messages in two different folders, you can 
create a filter to do that, but you'll need to run that filter manually, on a 
periodic basis.
