I think you understand it correctly. Looking at the related code I can 
see that part of it uses some deprecated functionality and depending on 
the headers of your messages then it might not work as expected. You can 
try enabling “strong muting” as follows:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmStrongMutingEnabled -bool YES

This should make it work except that it no longer checks for emails 
addressed directly to you.

(I'll look into the part of the code I think does not work correctly.)
