At least Thunderbird had the ability to set up a filter of the form
"If the sender matches 'xyz@example.com' then kill this thread" so
the thread-killing (or sub-thread killing) was automatic.

I set that up for Xah posts and my life was far better.

I've since switched to Claws for my mail and miss that kill-thread
functionality. :-/
