You are correct; L f should lower all messages with a matching followup
header.
I use Lsft, bound to 'k' to add a scoring rule for a subject (that will
expire). But that's also now what you want.
I think to do what you want will require code. I wonder about having a
new kind of scoring action, which is able to run code instead of just
assigning a value, and then to match on author, and if there is no
followup header add a temp rule to match that followup. Or maybe
there's some easier way to just run a procedure on each message.
