Hide (future) uninteresting messages

Hello,

sorry for the foggy subject, I couldn't find a better one...

I follow several high traffic mailing lists. Very often, a new message
starts a thread which will last for many days and messages.

If I have no interest in that thread, I want to say from mutt "I don't
want to see anything in this thread anymore". Where "thread" means Msg
ids: In-Reply-To, Reference, not subjects. I have googled and asked on
the mutt list enough to conclude that I need to merge this:

http://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-users(_at_)mutt(_dot_)org/msg25892.html

(the mutt part of the trick) with the kook blocker:

http://hypermail.linklord.com/procmail.old/2002/Dec/0007.html

The question is, how? Note that I don't care who starts or writes in
one thread, or if somebody hijacks it (changes the subject). I want to
dump the whole thread in another mailbox, period.

So, I am asking your help to understand what is the way to extract
MsgIds, and filter with procmail using them. I am also concerned with
performance. It is a single user computer, and we are talking of
500/1000 messages a day, but I have difficulties to understand which
recipe structure will have the smaller overall impact.

 TIA,
        Marco F.
