I'm tired of mass forwarded messages and want to delete any future email that meets a criteria such as having more than 10 recipients in the TO: or CC: headers.

How do I set up such a filter in in Thunderbird?

You should be able to create a rule/filter in Thunderbird, as far as I know...I don't have it myself, but here is a tutorial on:

Creating, Using & Editing Filters in Thunderbird

If you can't delete mails based on a rule/filter, I suggest just filtering out all messages with 10+ contacts and putting them in a separate folder, and then just mass-delete everything in the folder from time to time...

    as in past tense, @TheDisintegrator? please make it more clear that you want to do this for mails already in your inbox, and not messages still to come

    You can use the built in message filters in both ways. but you cant create a filter like the one I'm describing, or at least, if you can. It's not evident. Apr 11, 2011 at 3:25

    Thunderbird allows you to run filters on both incoming and existing emails

You can install FiltaQuilla addon and write java script which does this.
