I expect further messages in the thread (not addressed to me) to have the $Muted flag set, be marked read and be filed into the mailbox of the parent message (in this case Trash)....

I'm confused, but maybe it's because I've never used mute functionality
before using MailMate. What is the implication of the last
statement--that emails addressed directly to you will no longer be
exempted from the mute, or that they no longer will be muted? 

My understanding of "mute" is that it automatically marks further
messages in the same thread as read. I would expect it to do this
regardless of whether my address is in the To: field. However, the Mute
command has never had any effect on further messages when I use it in
MailMate, so I'm trying to determine how my understanding is incomplete.
And this is the first I've heard of "strong muting" as opposed to normal
muting.
