If you can use procmail, see

At the time I wanted seperate killfiles* for each incoming folder, but it
would be much simpler to put the thread killing recipe before any sorting
recipes, and use one killfile. The drawback with that is that a subject
which bores you in one list might interest you in another list. That could
be both solved and made more rigorous by instead of checking for subjects,
checking for message-IDs in the references. But that would be more work, and
I decided that subthreads with new subjects deserve a chance of being seen.
* For the squeamish: it just sent them to =dumpedthreads (but it might as
well have been /dev/null).
HTH,
Rob
