Hi..On my email page inbox I have "Open in Conversation" Works fine for me when I use it.. Problem is that although the Reply in Conversation is high-lighted with a yellow star on the Inward Mail Icon when an Email arrives I can't tell which email the Reply is for.. 

I get Lots of Email Replies so which Email line is it?..

There is a Small icon in the left margin for a Reply or two but no more that that.. Some of my Emails have up to half a dozen Replies in Conversation..very frustrating.. Which means I have to hunt thru my Emails to find what Reply Received is for which Email.. I would like Mozilla Thunderbird to add (somehow) a high-light for the Reply in Conversation & which Email it belongs to... That would save me a lot of searching... Any idea's.. Thank-You ..

Are you attempting this (reply) from conversation, or from message list using Cards View?

The following steps might be helpful:

1. (In the message list pane) "View" > "Sort by" > "Threaded".

2. "View" > "Threads" > "Expand All Threads".

3. Use "Table View" instead of "Cards View" so that you can see the hierarchy more easily.

According to my own test, messages in Cards View can indent only once at most, while messages in Table View can indent more than once. Therefore, use Table View instead of Cards View so that you can see the hierarchy more easily.

If you do not know how to change to Table View, please see "Classic View Layout with Table View" section in the following link: Getting Started with the Thunderbird main window (Supernova and newer) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-thunderbird-main-window-supernova
