message thread optimization with mhonarc

[Geremy Cohen <gcohen@Resonate.com>]

hello all-

im new to the list, but i wasnt able to find this info on the search as
well, so here goes:

with mhonarc, or an associated utility(s), is there a way to strip all the
messages from the system, keeping only the last message from the thread?


scenario one:

if i have 3 emails:

email one:
this is my question

email two:

this is an answer
>>this is my question

email three: 
this is another answer
>>this is an answer
>>>>this is my question

in this example, i could just keep email three, and delete emails one and
two, since all the information i really want is contained in message three.


scenario two:

if i have 4 emails:

email one:
this is my question

email two:

this is an answer
>>this is my question

email three: 
this is another answer
>>this is an answer
>>>>this is my question

email four:
this is another ANOTHER answer!
>>this is my question

in this case, i would want messages one and two deleted, since message three
contains messages one+two, and message four contains message one and itself
(message four).

does this question make sense? basically, i want to be able to remove from
the harddisk all redundant emails, and only keep the replies that are
recursive from the original.
