The tag is not associated with the file in Sent, it is associated
with the message-id.
Searching currently for words in the subject of either copy of the
message should work, so you should be able to tag the message(-id) as
you like. I can't help with afew, but if you have an example that
doesn't work on the command line, I'm interested. Display of such
messages (and threads) is still less than ideal as it still essentially
choose an arbitrary file with that message-id.
