Would it be possible to add to Thunderbird a VIEW (own) REPLY option for each of the messages/mails that we have recieved and also have replied to?
1. Imagine a full long list of received messages in your inbox 2. You have replied to some of those 3. You have a busy schedule and can't remember exactly EVERY tech detail or conversation/message you have sent as a reply 4. You need, at some point, to get back to that reply (it may be a 1 day or 2 months time) to remember some detail(s) 5. You press the Sentbox button and you start scrolling and looking for that sent e-mail 6. It takes too long... :) 7. This can be simplified 8. Have an option / button that will show you your sent message respective to the mail you are reading (right-click - view my reply)
Thank you for reading and trying to understand my English!

I don't use this myself, and I'll explain why I don't need to, but does right-click|View Message in Conversation help at all?
There is also a Conversations add-on which is supposed to emulate the Gmail way of presenting messages in a conversational thread. But I don't know how good any of these are at finding messages from another folder.
I don't have your problem because I don't leave sent messages in the Sent folder; I file them, by topic or correspondent. So my incoming messages and my replies are all filed together and there's no pain in finding messages related to each other.
I don't leave incoming messages in the Inbox, either. When they have been read they are either deleted or filed, so again, I don't have your problem with long lists of messages with a mix of unread, read and replied-to.
I don't see any sense in filing correspondence with another person in two different places (i.e. Inbox and Sent.)

Thank you, Zenos!
It's not what I had in mind, but, for some, it can be considered a solution. It still requires TWO CLICKS! So much time... ! ;)
I am not very fond of the conversation model. I know it makes sense for some people, but in my brain things are organized in "time stamps" and I relate a conversation with a certain point in time, so the date and e-mail topic / subject are the main "criteria" when looking back a certain dialogue.
I don't have unread messages. I have lots of clients / partners that I communicate with tasks and information via e-mail and some of them are already tagged with certain colors so I can move faster in the main INBOX window.
For some reason, at some point, it just "felt" natural to have a "view reply" button for any e-mail I have in my INBOX, just to have a quick reminder about some detail at that given day / point in time / on that certain subject. A 'view conversation' option is only half-relevant for me, because it's like asking for a red marker and getting a full box of colored markers with the red one mixed in. I don't need the other colors, I only need red! :)
But this is just... me.
Thanks for input understanding my English!
