I use procmail and some shell scripts to basically do the same. Here is
my .procmail rule:
# Process killed threads, save killed threads in killedthreads mbox
:0:
* ? $HOME/bin/isthreadkilled
killedthreads
To mark a thread/subthread for killing I use this with mutt:
macro pager \\k
"<ESC>t;|killthread\n;<save-message>=killedthreads\n<delete-subthread>" "Kill
this subthread"
I've attached both the isthreadkilled and killedthreads scripts. Note,
these are run on Solaris and will need to be edited slightly to work on
other platforms.
