Just for the record, it is possible to do this with smart mailboxes. All 
mailboxes can have a set of conditions which essentially “hides” 
part of its contents. If you have a smart mailbox named, e.g., 
“Special Senders”, then you can add a condition to the Inbox which 
says:

	Body-Part-ID is not in [Special Senders] Body-Part-ID

I'm kind of using this myself on the universal Inbox to hide any emails 
related to a particular IMAP account I'm monitoring for someone else.
