I do use procmail, there is no survival without it, I agree. But
the duplicate thing is not appropriate for me since I want to
weed duplicates only in any one output folder. That is a message
that is crossmailed to me personally must go to me personally and
also go into the list-folder where it belongs. So I'd need output-
folder based weeding.
