Advanced views.."By Conversation". Is it possible to have a view where I see only the first Item of a conversation?

Hi,
I receive emails from a distribution list.

I have set a "Search Folder"(outlook 2003) for these emails that allow
me to view items arranged by Conversation.

I need to create a view that will allow me to see Only the first items
in a conversation.By viewing that conversation I should be able to
decide whether or not I need to expand that group and read later emails
in that thread. If I decide not to follow up on that conversation, I
should be able to delete it and not have items from that conversation
visible.

This sounds challenging but I'm sure that the Outlook experts know a
work around. I believe this is a useful feature and some people are
already have created a way to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

maybe if you make custom view and don't include messages with re: in them?
If this works, you'll need to delete the conversation, not just the first
message, or you'll be left with all the replies.
