7.3 Guess by thread

Mew provides a mechanism to guess a folder where the parent message of a current message was refiled before.

For example, Pooh, Piglet, and Roo had a chat to go and get honey. So, Pooh made +project/honey then refiled the message to it. The further messages, if they are properly replied, they are supposed to be refiled to +project/honey.

Information that which folder was chosen for messages is stored to "~/Mail/.mew-refile-msgid-alist". ‘mew-lisp-max-length’ controls the amount of this information. The default value is 2000 messages. If you want limits it to 3000 messages, put the following to "~/.mew.el".

(setq mew-lisp-max-length 3000)

The function name to provide this feature is ‘mew-refile-guess-by-message-id’.
