Threading, and convenient keystrokes for delete-subtread and
undelete-subthread (I happen to like trn for reading news, so I use comma
and period, respectively):

bind index , delete-subthread
bind index . undelete-subthread

I don't use any scoring, I just make a pass through my email reading just
subjects and killing entire threads. I also don't put different mailing
lists (I'm on several, though debian-user is the highest volume) in
different folders before reading, I just go through the entire spool that
way. I have messages that are to me instead of to a list highlighted in the
index (i.e. a different color) to make it harder to accidentally delete
personal mail.
