No. And it wouldn't be all that effective even if you could: Trumpet would
still have to download the headers, even if it had a killfile capability. So,
a killfile wouldn't speed things up, though it would make it easier to spot
the articles you want to read.

Yes - in the full version. Well, kinda. I don't think there's a way to sent
mail to the bitbucket, but there *is* a way to send it to a particular folder.
(Oh, OK, I guess you could send it to the wastebasket, though that doesn't
really delete it untill you empty the trash.)
I use this to sort-out mailing lists that I subscribe to. They are
automatically deposited into folders that I have created for each list.
