Just filter by topic. It should be pretty clear after only a few 
messages whether the continuation is of any value.

Incidentally, the filter setup in my mailer (Icedove, whatever that is) 
is done in the Create Filter From Message dialog under the Messages 
menu. It's nice, I can define the filter with various controls, then I 
can have the filtered messages sent to whatever destination I prefer. 
Sweet.

I presume other mail handlers work in similar fashion.

Best,
