I just use a procmail recipe for any thread I want to kill, e.g.
----------------------------------------------------------------
:0 D :
* ^Subject.*empty boot log
/dev/null # will go to /dev/null
----------------------------------------------------------------
I also have an alias to 'vim ~/.procmailrc' so that I can invoke
my procmail filter file quickly when I need to.
