I think the OP probably realises that but it as well to spell it out for
other readers. A more surgical approach would be to target headers such
as References: and In-Reply-To: and filter on one or both of them. I
expect this would have its own drawbacks but at least it gets closer to
the blacklisting of all participants in a particular thread.
The idea is to get the Message-ID of the first post, but ones from
subsequent mails should also be useful. My perspective is that of a user
of Mutt. Mutt has the abilty to pipe a mail to a script; I think Kmail
can also do this.
In Mutt:
macro index |/home/brian/extract
extract has
MID=$(cat - | grep -i ^Message-ID | cut -d"<" -f2 | cut -d">" -f1)
What is done with the Message-ID is up to you. Using it in procmail is
one idea. However, I collect mail with POP3 and have mailfilter filter
mails on the server, so the script also has
echo "DENY=\"^References:.*${A}\"" >>
/home/brian/.mailfilter/mailfilterrc-refs
echo "DENY=\"^In-Reply-To:.*${A}\"" >>
/home/brian/.mailfilter/mailfilterrc-refs
in it.
Pressing F4 in mutt takes a second and the DENY rules delete the mails
for the thread you do not want to see when the POP3 server is accessed.

Brad was right to explain it, as I perhaps should have, for the benefit of newbies who might happen upon this thread.

Using Mutt to filter mails which form a thread wasn't the point I was trying to make, although I was gratified to find that, together other programs, blacklisting of participants (whoever they may be) is possible with it. More to the point is whether filtering on the From: header is a solution to not wanting to see mails in a particular thread and, if not, what headers are more suitable and can it be done with Kmail. Kmail appears to have the filtering capabilities http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdepim/kmail/filters.html to produce a solution more in line with the original subject of this thread . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
