I don't think you can completely automatically ignore the thread, but in |
| 36 |
threaded view you could just right-click->Mark->Thread as Read whenever |
| 37 |
there were new messages. So it is still manual, but at least you can |
| 38 |
easily mark the entire thread. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Actually, I suppose you could probably also write a message filter |
| 41 |
(Tools->Message Filter) rule that would be completely automatic, but |
| 42 |
speaking for myself I'd probably just right-click->Mark->Thread as Read |
| 43 |
whenever I wanted to ignore a thread. |
