PLZ, filtering out duplicates in mail folder

1999-03-25 12:12:17

help, 
   i have a bunch of duplicates in my 'java' mail folder. i wanted to
   eliminate the dups, and store all msgs under a given size to a new
   empty folder.

   i went over the examples in procmailex.  but things are not working.  
   [i get a backup copy, which i probably did not need since my original
   folder file is still there, but no msgs are being copied to the 
   new folder]

   listed below is the procmailrc i am using.  (let's name it 'foo')

   the command i am running is:

   procmail -m foo < java

   ------------------------------

   .PROCMAIL LOG SAYS:
   formail: formail: No such file or directory

          Folder: **Bounced**                             253

TIA -j
