224634 - News: A killed (Ignored) thread should be completely hidden

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

If I select "Ignore Thread," the usual reason is that it is Junk (at least to
me).  Likewise if I program a junkfilter to do it for me.
I would much prefer to see no trace of it thereafter and forever.  With a mild
grumble, I would accept this as a preference.  

As it stands, it's hard to see what use the "Ignore Thread" has.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a newsgroup thread
2. 'K' (Message->Ignore Thread)


Actual Results:  
The message title is unbolded

Expected Results:  
Hidden the thread from view completely unless I select View->Messages->Ignored

Ignore Thread *does* collapse the thread, and the ignored thread *is* invisible 
on subsequent views of the group.  So it is of *some* use as written.

The reason to *not* hide immediately is in case the 'K' is typed accidentally; 
you might not even notice that you'd killed a thread of interest.

then why not add a more 'naughty' option which would not be binded on the keyboard ?

When I delete a mail, i dont see it any more. I thought TB as a unified reader.
And I expected him to be able not to show anymore messages I dont want to see.
