Well, sup already has a pretty nice (and similar) feature for killing
entire threads.  The '&' key will archive a thread permanently; that is,
if new mails arrive in that thread, they will automatically be archived.
So, you can hit '&' once for each thread you don't want to read; the
rest will reappear in you inbox as new mails arrive in them.

It's a bit inverted from what you want, but maybe it will do?  In any
case, if you want to extend sup, you should look at how that key works.

The 'M' key will load more threads.

Good luck!

P.S. I'm running a slightly old version of sup, so the actual keys might
not be '&' and 'M' any more.  '?' should list the available commands at
any time.
