I imagine that I can use 'formail' to fix this, but I checked the  
manpage and wasn't able to figure it out.  I imagine it is simple,  
but I don't understand how to do it.

Try this:

formail -s procmail nodups.rc <mailbox 

The file nodups.rc should contain:

# When a duplicat is found, formail -D will return 0, so procmail will end
:0Wh
|formail -D 8192 idfile

# If we get here, we know it's a new message
:0
mailbox.new

# Please note: if you want to incorporate this in a .procmailrc that 
# processes incoming mail, be sure to add lockfiles.
