While there's that, I was thinking more on the user's side.  Have you
seen mail clients with filtering as good as on news agents?

Yes. IIRC, cone is still packaged in Fedora. If not, it's straightforward to build the rpm from the source tarball.

Ignore a thread - the whole thread vanishes from sight, and stays
there.

I found that killing a thread for a limited time/# of replies was sufficient for that particular purpose.

Watch a thread - kept an eye out for the ones you were interested in,
and highlighted them for you.

Yes, just like this one, and also watching a thread for a limited period of time or replies. Combined with a filter that watches my own messages when they come back from the mailing list keeps me engaged in my conversations, and automatically drop off watching threads if others spin it off in some other direction.

Kill files - send a thread, or an author to the eternal bit bucket.

I think I have a few entries, along those lines…

Then there was the message editors.  Forté Inc's Agent had the first
message editor I found that didn't mangle quoted text.  It could reflow
your text, and quoted text, and not bugger it up.  Pan was close, but
not quite as good.

Cone does lazy text wrapping, uses flowed text MIME formatting, with a single key to reflow the current paragraph.
