Apple Mail rules: move/delete entire thread

[Samuel Gordon]

Do you know if it's possible to delete an entire thread of messages if given conditions are met for a single message within this thread? For example if any of the messages in the thread contains "something" in the content, then delete the entire thread. Since all predefined options for "Perform the following actions" are only related to a specific message, I suspect, the only way would be "Run AppleScript". I'm not really an expert in AppleScript - do you know if it's possible to do that? Thanks.

Actually, the rule as specified will delete ALL messages meeting the criteria. It could be multiple messages/threads depending on the criteria.

Yes, I understand that. But what I need is based on this rule that applies only to one particular e-mail, delete all e-mails from the thread that this e-mail belongs to (even though this specific rule does not apply to those e-mails, only to that specific one that triggered the rule) 😃
