I suppose looking for your own hostname in References: is going to pick
the mails only following on from your own mail, and won't include
messages in the same thread which _don't_ inherit from your mail --
messages in the thread before you joined, or sub-threads arising from
those earlier messages.

That may or may not be a desirable feature -- is that what you mean when
you say it "won't work as wished"?

I wonder how sane it would be to keep a list of Message-IDs for threads
in which you're interested, perhaps automatically added from your
References: header when you reply, and then to filter on References:
headers containing _any_ of those IDs? I suspect it won't be too fast,
and you'd need to have a sane way of expiring your list... probably not
too practical.
