Actually he doesn't need the envelope for this. Duplicate messages can be
disposed of by inserting:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache
at the top of the .procmailrc (this keeps an 8K cache of Message-ID's). See the
procmailex man pages for this exact example (about page 5). Then only a single
copy will go through the :0 c recipes.
Ok, light dawns. Ever be rereading the instructions as you're downloading your
mail and come accross what is possibly the answer only to have your email
confirm that, yes, it is the answer?
He will need to do a bit more work for the "anything that slips through the
cracks" recipe at the end, such as set a variable when anyone gets a copy, and
test it at the end.
Excellent! Thank you. Wonderful idea!!!
