Ok, that's the manual way.
I wanted to know if a more automatic way is possible.

For example, in Gmail, I mark an email as 'Important' (not tag: I
click on the 'box' [semi-square-losangle box] after the subject on
conversation view).
I do nothing more: I set _no_ keywords to be tracked, nor from fields.
I just mark the email as 'important'.

Next time the topic is covered elsewhere (for example, a random
iwl3945 driver thread on linux-wireless), as I have marked in the past
an email with similar terms as Important, Gmail tags such mails as
Important and they appear on the Important folder.

I wanted to know if there was the possibility of getting the same
functionality using some sort of combination of existing tools.
