Thats what I do now, but the rule is supposed to do it's job and doesn't.
Thats what I am trying to correct. It may be in vain but I gotta try.

Why use a "rule" at all? The nest time you go to that group, "watch" your
message and the others will be marked as well.

When you reply to a thread mark it watched, the message headers will turn
red, or whatever color you select, and be easy to find.

|I am using "group by conversation" and it works perfectly if I start the
| conversation. the entire thread will show up and everything.
| But if I just reply to some thread, trying to give some input, that thread
| will not always get marked So I never know if my reply helped or if there

| Lets see if I can make the tree visually. I can see I am not being clear.
| The conversation tree goes like this:
|
| someones question
| - someone elses reply
|  -  someone else rreply
|   -  my reply
|
| The rule says that if my name is in the "from" line mark it to watch and
| color it red, and it will. But the conversation title "someones question"
| doesn't get marked. So what happens is that I will have a marked reply in 
an
| umarked thread. That makes the newsgroup title in the left pane change
| color, but in the right side the conversation that has my reply in it
| doesn't get marked, so I have to find it manually.
