Mail you replied to shoud be in the "Sent" folder with a subject of "RE: xxxx".
When crunching through scads of mail it can help to show unread messages only, read them in the preview pane and check them off to "Mark selected as read." The "discussion threads" folder can also come in handy.
As to porting Domino to Linux, yawn. Another server OS. It works the way it is supposed to. Don't use platform specific anything and porting is so much easier. Started on OS/2, went to NT with zero problems. Snuck Linux in but someone needed the spare PC for a presentation, reloaded it, and never brought it back. Sob.
This doesnt seem like a difficult hack -- change the reply action so that it sets some field to "1" in the existing note, then modify your inbox view so that it creates an icon or whatever in a column.
Well, there's probably some complications that I haven't thought of (don't use Notes anymore!!). Also, watch out that your mail admin is not refreshing your template nightly or your changes will go bye-bye.
BTW, the consipricy theory is that Notes is missing certain features like this specifically so that you can hire IBM Global Services to come and develop a custom mail template. --
you are only porting the server-side application the only front-end available are Windows and Mac. Anyway Lotus Notes is the worst develompent environment that ever existed.
Every new version hasnew bugs, when the old bugs are repaired, some new appears. The code is very inneficient, the client is almost 100Mb for only using a mail client and some applications(that resides in the server).
Forget about develpment in Notes.... use Java if you want portability.
