I'm trying to find threads where I have sent an email (easy enough by just matching "from") but where I haven't gotten a reply yet (i.e. there's only one message in the thread), so that I know to follow up. If you can think of another way of doing this, that would be great as well!

We had some discussion about a proposed method to do this
https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/nmweb/show/20230213122631.2088558-1-david@tethera.net
Unfortunately my initial attempt didn't distinguish between real
messages in the database and so called "ghost messages" generated by
(potentially spurious references). This generates some false positive
for threads which seem large, but are not.
