I'm using Thunderbird, with gmail as my base of operations for 
mythtv-users.  I grab the gmail using pop on thunderbird, and then auto 
archive it over on the gmail site.  Only log into gmail website directly 
to admin stuff.  In thunderbird I have two rules.  One grabs all 
mythtv-users and sends them to a mythtv-users folder.  The other rule 
grabs anything with my name in the body and sends it to a my threads 
folder.  ....I only recently started doing this, because I've been 
absolutely terrible at getting back to threads I'm involved in in a 
timely manner.  Feeling guilty about it I've got that set up now so if 
someone replies to me directly I can at least see it right away.  I 
don't use the thread view for myself because it there are so many 
threads that if one gets updated it is so far down the list I might not 
even notice.  My rules set up of course don't do anything that you're 
asking, which is grab the whole thread if you got involved in just a 
part of it.  I would say there must be some kind of way to make 
something that checks out the subject line of the emails you respond to, 
and then autogenerate a rule that says grab all the emails with that 
subject line.  That would get you the whole thread.  If anyone can do 
it, much kudos.
