If you can have rules to automatically archive these messages then you 
can also add a condition that says that the message to be moved must not 
have a direct mention. You can even add a condition that says to not 
move a message if a message earlier in the same thread was not moved. 
The latter might be a bit tricky though, but I think it can be done with 
the virtual “Thread-Id” header (the same value for all messages of 
the same thread) and the “is in” comparison method.
