Your local email client, if any, may do 90% of the job for you if you set:
* normal, non-digest mode
* threaded view locally
then just press 'del' on every other thread.

As a side-note, since you are now subscribed to the python-tutor list, by not 
pressing 'del' (too quiclkly), you may learn much about python and programming 
in general, in a both nice and efficient manner.
