It's "conditionally possible". <g>

You'd score both (with an AND, so it must match BOTH conditions) on his 
name/address (so authored by him), AND on the references line, matching 
part of your message-id (so it's a reply, directly or indirectly, to 
you).  The "conditional" part is that in ordered for it to work, you must 
find a part of your message-id to match, that's exclusive to your posts 
(so it doesn't match others accidentally), but matches /all/ your posts.

I wouldn't accuse you of being deliberately obstructionist, but honestly, 
sometimes it /is/ hard to explain in such a way that you understand (as 
I'm sure you know).  I think this is going to be one of those times.

I'm off to work ATM, but will try a bit more detail later.
