Oh, I see.  There's a recipe out there for adding data from found messages
to a "reference" file, which then can be used to keep track of which
belongs to which.  I don't know where to find it offhand...

It may be easier to read the mailing lists through a newsreader; that way,
you can ignore threads or even use a killfile.  It's a change of method,
but it may be easier than wrangling  procmail into shape for what you
want.
