   I use the feature "ignore sub-thread" that Thunderbird has, when a   
   branch has degenerated into name-calling and similar; OK, I may miss   
   useful content, but on the whole once a thread has so descended, little   
   further useful content ensues - in that branch. (My previous client -   
   Turnpike - could do the same, though you had to manually "split thread"   
   and then mark the split one as ignore.)   
      
   I find it very useful, especially in certain 'groups.   
      
   Of course, just killing certain posters works as well, until they morph   
   of course.
