If the thread is over a short period of time, control D in mutt will delete all messages currently in a thread and that may be good enough for you. If the thread is trickling in or you read your email very often this won't work so well. Also if you are looking at banning all threads started by particular email addresses, you are going to need to keep some state besides the current set of messages. mutt is probably nicer than procmail for doing this kind of thing because it understands threads. I am just not sure it's hook system is powerful enough to do everything you want. If you are trying to filter at delivery time, you also need to worry about messages being delivered out of order. So that you might see messages that are supposed to be deleted before you see the first message in the thread that allows you to determine that. You should only have to save the message ids from thread starting messages from banned addresses. These will appear in the references headers of messages also in the thread. That shouldn't be a lot of data to save. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
