I'm especially curious, what steps do you do in order to quickly find
out if there is a reply to a message you sent to a list?

For others who may be interested, this is now what I did: create a
filter rule with two rules that need to be true:

1.) in-reply-to contains my email address
2.) list-post contains .

This rules checks whether a message is a reply and belongs to a mailing
list. If the above is true, the message is being piped thru the script
below which uses the KDE command kdialog to pop up a message. I think
this is pretty cool, though a quick and dirty hack. Suggestions
welcome.

export HEADER

cat > $TMPMSG

grep -i -e "List-id" $TMPMSG > $HEADER

grep -i -e "X-Mailinglist" $TMPMSG >> $HEADER

export LIST="`cat $HEADER`"

kdialog --msgbox "Reply in $LIST" &
