It detects duplicates by Message-Id.
Unfortunately, the messages that make it through to the cypherpunks list have their MessageID changed when they get approved. So, checking for duplicates by MessageID fails, given the current approval mechanism. :( I've informed Sandy of the problem, but he doesn't know how to preserve the original MessageIDs. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL N1NWH warlord@MIT.EDU PGP key available

A while back, I experimented with a technique for adding an md5 based message-id at the top of my procmailrc. Never got it working. I'll give it another shot middle of March, when I get back from FC '97*, and catch up on stuff. Someone could of course, beat me to it. The flow was: all messages get piped into md5, then use formail to set a new header.
