C-k only applies to the current summary. What youʼre looking for is
traditionally a kill file, accessible via 'M-k'. However..

..kill files are allegedly slow. So what you do instead is 'L', which
allows you to lower the score of a thread, and then you can use 'V x'
to set the score below which messages are automatically hidden (I
donʼt remember offhand if the effect of 'V x' is permanent or not, as
I donʼt really use scoring).
