No reply arrow/icon shown after replying to messages in Mail.

I've seen a number of discussions on this topic but I still have not found a solution.


When I respond to a message in one of my Google Apps (IMAP) accounts, sometimes it will show the reply arrow/icon next to the original message but most times it will not. The other weird part is that it only happens in one specific mailbox. Other than my iCloud mailbox, I have three Google Apps IMAP accounts, but this specific mailbox is the only one that has these inconsistencies. The only time i can get the arrow/icon to show is when i'm replying to one of my other two Google Apps accounts. The message always goes through, it's just that it doesn't show the reply arrow/icon and it's very frustrating to have to go to the sent mailbox everytime just to see if i have responded to a message.


I'm running Mac OSX 10.7.2. and Mail version 5.1


I've already tried the following to no avail:


Rebuild the maillbox

ReIndex the entire mail.app

Deleted the cache folder in /Library/Caches/Mail

Deleting the mailbox and readding it

Repaired disk permissions and restarted computer

Mail-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Try actually opening message and clicking reply icon to respond rather than right clicking on message preview. I have had same bug (which Apple should fix all the same), but have found that if you open the message as its own discreet window, then the "replied to" icon will appear. Hope this is helpful
