whole thread archiving

[Chris Mason]

Hi everyone,

This muttrc line:

macro index A "<modify-labels-then-hide>+archive -inbox\n<sync-mailbox>"

Archives a message.  Is there a way to do this for a whole thread?  I
know I can tag the thread and then archive the tagged messages, but I'm
hoping for muttrc solution.

I've been dying for a "kill-thread" or "mute-thread" function a la
Sup. I've pondered it a little but have yet to start on something- I
figured I'd script something to tag and archive the thread, and then
write an update to my notmuch hooks to catch future thread members.

Currently, we don't have a special set of commands for work with threads.
You have to tag the thread and then modify labels.

Yep,

macro index A "<tag-thread><tag-prefix><modify-labels-then-hide>+archive -inbox\n<sync-mailbox>"

but it's useless if you already have tagged another emails.

The notmuch library has nice support or work with threads, so it
should not be a problem to implement things like
<modify-thread-labels-then-hide> and <modify-thread-labels>.
