In mutt press '^d'. This doesn't delete future messages in the thread, just the ones in the mailbox at the time the command was pressed. I've also found that it is easier to read messages when you can follow a thread straight through, rather than reading many threads at a time in the order people replied. If you only want to get replies to messages you sent, mutt does this very well also. In your .muttrc put the following lines set followup-to = yes # this is set by default lists [email protected] When you send a message to that address mutt will include your address in the Mail-Followup-To header. Then when people reply to the message using the 'list-reply' command (L in mutt) the reply will be cc'd to you. That way you can get replies to your questions without getting all the other messages. -D
