I receive emails from couple of distribution lists. I move them to respective
Personal folders. To clean-up fast I used to group the emails on Conversation
and delete all the emails in the thread except the ones on the lower most
level. This way it is enough for me to store only one email in a thread of 10
or 15 or how many ever, since this one email will have all the emails in the
thread. I tried all options to automate this process but couldn't. Is there a
way to automate this or this needs to be a new feature?

Thanks
Kumar

I don't know of any way to automate this, but no matter how you do it, it
assumes that the mailing list posters are so clueless that they always
include the entire thread in their replies or you'd be missing a lot of
context. Such an assumption is largely invalid.
