I do not think so but I see now that my answer was pretty short.

The filter looks always only onto an individual mail. It does not allow 
- at least not as far as I know - to link two mails with each other to 
create a filter.

WIth other words, it is not possible to say "DELETE if SUBJECT == 
other.SUBJECT".
