And I prefere two of the | same email more than one lost email, that I thought | I'd never got. the duplicate e-mail problem can be solved if your e-mail account is stored in an unix shell to which you have some sort of access (ssh). if it is, you can use formail and procmail to eliminate duplicates. it works, I do it.
