But that is a lot of subjects!
I cannot kill all of those by hand.

How? I would like to have the selection automatically
when I have selected it for reading, or when posting a new article.

The subject lines should not be kept, but this should be done
by looking if the subject is new (no Re:) or  followup
to a new article.

in the kill file. I do not read and post that many articles.
say 500 subjects in a month.
