In alpine, I have a filter rule that moves all debian-user messages
from my inbox to a dedicated folder.
Here is a sample of what I see in alpine, when I view the contents of
that mail folder, in threaded mode with threads collapsed:

All 34 messages (at this time) to the UNUBSCRIBE thread are collapsed;
only the OP's initial message is visible. As long as I retain the
thread-initial message, subsequent contributions to that thread will
be invisible, in this collapsed view.
If a thread interests me, say Carl Fink's, I can expand it:

But if a thread does *not* interest me, I don't expand it, and then
the only visible effect of subsequent contributions to that thread is
to promote the thread down the list (since threads nearer the bottom
are more recently active).

The foregoing demonstration is meant to show how, using alpine's
threaded mode, I minimise my irritation with threads that I find
irrelevant to my interests: I view debian-user in threaded mode with
collapsed threads, and simply do not expand the ones that don't
concern me.
I believe these are the config settings I use to enable this:
...

I like also to set the option below, because I find that being able to
collapse sub-threads turns out to be more confusing (to me) than it is
helpful.
