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".
