are xxxx numbers only (I don't have access at this moment to the box 
I'm using MHonArc on)?

If so, you should be able to do:

        Deny thrd\d+\.html

You can also do just plain old:

        Deny thrd.+\.html
        Deny mail.+\.html

'.' by itself matches any characted (except newline, usually).  The 
'.+' means "match one or more characters".  So this says "match the 
characters 'thrd', followed by at least one, but up to any number of 
other characters, then match a period, then the characters 'html'".

HTH,
