Just in case anyone else is tired of wading through the irrelevant

Try it (yes, it works), but I did find that you have to drop and
resubscribe for Thunderbird to take notice of the filter, once created.
Though that could be my Thunderbird is borked.

(So I've just reset uk.d-i-y, and lost a good lot of past threads.. so
don't do the above lightly)

You should be able to specify how many past headers to download. Only
problem you might have is if your newsreader only has a limited archive
of them (although most seem to have years worth of text only groups
these days)
