Hear! This thread prompted me to write an exim filter kill-file
that follows threads (in a simple fashion). I only saw this part
of the thread because I was looking through the archived killed
mail to make sure it was working properly. I share the filter with
all here so that others can derive the same benefit that I do.

I'd be interested in enhancements.

It uses three files:

$home/.killfile - Put email addresses (envelope senders) you summarily
        want to kill in here.
$home/.killfile_lists - Put the list-id, X-mailing-list or the list
        envelope sender followed by a ':' and then the email
        address in the From header that you wish to kill.
$home/.killfile_message_id - This one is auto appended with the
        message ids that match the above criterion so that
        the In-reply-to and References headers can be checked
        and follow-ups to killed messages can be killed as well.


For example I currently only use:
$home/.killfile_lists
    exim-users.exim.org: woods@???


Because woods might be reasonable on some other list I'm on and he
might at some point have a valid complaint about the email service
I run.
