Hi,

I am trying to weed out duplicate emails from a mailbox. Although it
probably could be done with a shellscript, I thought it could be done as
well with a combination of procmail and formail... (something like, keep a
list of message ID's, then move mail to /dev/null if message ID already
known)...

Am I thinking in the right direction?

Any hints would be appreciated.

regards,

Han
