The Right click is a good start. But how about having also your own
filter templates in the context menu? Like 'Filter based on thread' or
more specific 'Trash all messages related to this Message-ID/Reference'.
It would make life on high volume mailinglists so much easier. Although
a filter-expire would be vital in such a use case... know what I mean?!
