[Callers] Compensating for SharedWeight's Limitation re: Threads

[Don Veino via Callers]

Jerome makes a great point here about the "Mute" capability, that's the
easiest solution for a given thread within GMail.

This might get you poking about and noticing there is also a "Block" option
for a sender - I urge caution with that one. Because SharedWeight rewrites
the sender address to the list's address when it forwards on posts, you may
end up blocking *all* list posts with that function even though it appears
you are blocking just one sender (e.g.: Don Veino via Callers).

You can screen out a particular sender through Gmail's filter settings, but
it is more complicated and requires manual editing of the filter.
