The only quick way I know of is shift-clicking to mutiple select all
the messages in the thread, and then deleting. A "delete entire
thread" command might be there somewhere, I have to admit. I have
never looked for one, since shift-clicking is easy.

What I wish I had in T-Bird is filtering based on Thread, so that I
could say "ignore/delete future messages in this Thread." But I heard
that Thunderbird used to have that feature, and it never worked. Maybe
message-ids are not reliable in some way.
