you gots to take the good with da bad - I have nuked that thread many
times - I don't read it

use a threaded view in Thunderbird, collapse the thread, delete the one
remaining 'top' and they all delete with it at the same time...best you
can do with filters.

Now, with procmail or sieve, you can send it to bit bucket before it
ever gets to Thunderbird but I don't generally create rules for
'threads' only obnoxious people  ;-)
