Solved: Inbox search: replied to messages - Page 2

We use Gmail with conversation view disabled. When a message is replied to, in the inbox view an arrow appears next to email to indicate a reply has been sent.

Is there a search operator that can check for the precense of this arrow? i.e. something like has:reply.

I've not found it in the documentation that lists the available operators.

Thanks!

Or you could create a script to get all the emails with "Re:" in the subject and then have the script apply the label "replied" to all of the emails with the same title as the emails that start with "Re:" but without the "Re:".

There is no search operator for this. If you script this, you want to go for message headers. Replies usually (not always) contain the "in-reply-to:" header. All replies always contain a "References:" header. If it is empty or missing, it's not a reply. If it contains message ID numbers, it's a reply to the message with the given ID.
