I think its a question of off topic versus on topic ratio. Due to threading 
feature in KMail its easy for me to ignore off topic stuff, but when it 
exceeds a certain amount I tend to get annoyed with it, cause then its 
more difficult for me to spot the threads that contain the stuff I am 
interested in.

I do not like filtering out off topic mails, since as you wrote, some off 
topic threads can contain interesting stuff.

So from me the appeal to keep an eye on the amount of off topic stuff to 
keep that balance intact.

Thanks,
