In days with large email influx, some emails tend to slip out of my attention. Usually these are email where I am not the primary recipient, but I am referenced at some point as having to perform some action. This point may occur after several responses to a thread.

E.g.:

Hello B,

Hello A,

Dear all,

Could someone give me feedback on document X?

Thanks,

A.

Please find my remarks below:

...

Best,

B.

Thank you for the feedback. I have incorporated it in the document.

C, can you make a final proof-reading pass and post it online?

Thanks,

A.

Is there a way in thunderbird to highlight the sentence/paragraph where my name ("C" in this example) or some other configurable keyword occurs, so that I can easily check if I have to take action?

Note that I am looking for a way to identify the part of the message that directly concerns me and not which messages concern me. So, filters/tags won't really help.
