I use filters differently at
the moment. I highlight my own messages,

Why? This is a popular discussion in here. Wouldn't you rather highlight
_responses_ to your posts rather then your own? I mean, you wrote them
right?

No offense to Roy (who might have come this way because I've spoken highly
of this group in another one; I recommend it frequently), but that's
always puzzled me, too. I've always highlighted direct responses to my
posts -- I want to be alerted to replies; I've already read my own posts.
I've come to the conclusion (and this is where my disclaimer applies) that
the urge to highlight one's own posts is 99% of the time made by folks who
never thought and/or don't know how to highlight *replies* to them.

Actually, I came here because a guy in the SuSE newsgroups suggested that I
do so. That happened yesterday when a thread diverged to a discussion about
newsreaders.

Gotcha. I've recommended the group in alt.html and alt.www.webmaster,
and thought you might have come here via those mentions.

Can you advise me on how replies to X can be set apart (modified) in
KNode? Perhaps I am being lazy here, but I know the filering options
well enough to assume (my version of) KNode cannot trivially achieve
this.

I (and others) do it just the way PJR suggested elsewhere -- with a
regex rule that upscores posts with my MID in the final position of
the References header.
