Why "create a simple rule"? - as already pointed out, Thunderbird (and
most other mail clients?) allows for automatic cancellation of MDNs, so
that one never need see them. Or is the "simple rule" that any message
with a "Disposition-Notification-To:" header gets automatically deleted?
Either way, that "simple solution" does not work for those who would
like to retain the MDN for its intended purpose: notification that a
message has been received. As the relevant RFC (3798) takes pains to
point out, that purpose simply does not apply to a mailing list - and,
that said, if there is fault beyond Bruce's, it is that the mailing list
manager does not strip that header, as recommended by the RFC. It's just
sad that Bruce does not voluntarily extend that courtesy.
Then you need only add the offender's email to the rule.
? - You mean add to the kill file anyone who ever requests a return
receipt? Is that what you do?

No,
Only the repeat offenders on Mail Lists.
