There were plenty of subtle and less subtle implications in the promotional
stuff that introduced Mail that that was in fact the case, but I'm pretty sure
they were just blowing smoke.

Not unless you want to script one. You have to manually add a rule. Mail will
give you some small help, in that it will prefill the choices for "sender is,"
"any recipient is," etc. with the values from the piece of mail that is
currently chosen.

You can have mail IDENTIFY those messages by creating a smart mailbox with the
appropriate selection criteria. You can MANUALLY delete all those messages any
time you want. For AUTOMATICALLY, you'll have to script, but it would be a
much easier script.
